I started off wanting to do a film entirely with real images in a stop motion sequence, one image | I started off wanting to do a film entirely with real images in a stop motion sequence, with one image the size of the whole screen. I was intrigued by the idea that images you used had to be distorted to be seen as normal in the dome, so I started taking pictures of spherical things. As I tested these ideas I decided the classic space-based content worked best in the dome, so I combined those two ideas into this music visualisation, including light based pictures - taking inspiration from light stop motion - because this looks like astronomical events and the contrast of a small area of bright colour on a dark background works best technically. | ||
I made the balls with music on by coating balls of polystyrene in papier mâché, painting them, then drawing on actual music notation from the piece by Liszt I was originally going to use. When I was using this music, the ball rotated in time with the music, so it showed the notes as they were played. Now, however, the movement is a little smoother which I find suits this music better. I also photographed some other balls, one painted orange and one shaded grey. I only used the orange one, but animated both. | I made the balls with music on by coating balls of polystyrene in papier mâché, painting them, then drawing on actual music notation from the piece by Liszt I was originally going to use.
