Every moment masses of data get exchanged. A mesh of informations, through humans and machines. Pulsating. Non-stop. Communication passing over continents in seconds. In contrast; the woods. Silence. Harmony. But hidden from our eyes there is also a busy network. Trees are communicating via roots, mushrooms and fragrances. The Wood Wide Web can connect hole forests. | Every moment masses of data get exchanged. A mesh of informations, through humans and machines. Pulsating. Non-stop.

With this project i wanted to visualize this hidden connection, to maybe also reflect our connection to nature. ===== (For more information: Terra X Beitrag: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/plus-schule-wie-baeume-kommunizieren-100.html) ===== The idea came while experimenting with different techniques in the course. Before i haven't had any experiences with VR. I was surprised how surreal and at the same time natural it feels to look through the headset. 360° videos were kind of intensifying this feeling. As well as stopmotion-animation, because of the combination of magical moving of real objects. | With this project i wanted to visualize this hidden connection, to maybe also reflect our connection to nature.===== (For more information: Terra X Beitrag: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/plus-schule-wie-baeume-kommunizieren-100.html) =====The idea came while experimenting with different techniques in the course.

Here is a test i animated with hand fans in the forest, which should act as lungs of the plants. Or just butterfly-like things. It’s out of about 30 photos, which already took quite some time and what is sadly very visible by looking at the moving shadows. | Here is a test i animated with hand fans in the forest, which should act as lungs of the plants.

Another one happened after sunset. No shadows, but huge change of light intensity. | |||
Experimenting with lightpainting solved this problem so that the video can be played back and forth on repeat nearly unnoticed. It’s made by walking through the dark forest with a flashlight, while the ``Ricoh Theta V 360 camera`` took a photo with an exposure time of three seconds every four seconds. | |||
First here the raw version straight out of the camera, consisting of 300 pictures. Later i edited the video with ``DaVinci Resolve`` to look even more surreal. For the sound i was running around with a VR-headset, following the light line with a controller. In ``Unity`` the movement got translated to sound in space. | |||
