[CG mentioned that the shapes had an organic feel, this may have something to do with the way they \u2018breathe.\u2019] The pacing of each shape was an important part of this scene, as a response to the prompt\u2019s challenge of 20 seconds. I felt that if I could let the viewer watch the emerging pink transformer with anticipation, they would get the idea that you have to \u2018wait and see\u2019 rather than assume the loop will continue. In the programming, there was a wave generator altering color (+alpha), scale, and facets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"779\" src=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.10.58-PM-1-1024x779.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.10.58-PM-1-1024x779.png 1024w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.10.58-PM-1-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.10.58-PM-1-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.10.58-PM-1-1536x1168.png 1536w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.10.58-PM-1-2048x1557.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"966\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.41-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.41-PM.png 966w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.41-PM-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.41-PM-768x458.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second scene, which was meant to be a continuation of the play of pacing, I encountered some technical difficulties (which Alex helped to resolve!) I wanted to create a prism where each square undulated at a subtly different speed so that they would influence the color of the next layer. You would ideally see all the layers in an unending loop, it sounded like a harp in my head. This worked for a good while until I created a new scene and then everything synched to one pulse, erasing the careful layering I had done earlier. Having spent so much time on that, I felt quite frustrated and gave up. The programming for this section comprised of a multitude of squares using wave generator influencing color + alpha. I placed each square so they would overlap with three vertically and three horizontally. Next time, I&#8217;ll make the squares very small rather than overlap so they act like pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.14-PM-1024x662.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.14-PM-1024x662.png 1024w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.14-PM-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.14-PM-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.14-PM-1536x994.png 1536w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-11.11.14-PM-2048x1325.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To be continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conclusion: I learned a lot! I love the suggestion of the class to arrive at a place of clarity. Perhaps, another shape could emerge that is an amalgamation of the prism. I also really enjoyed seeing everyone\u2019s interpretation of the prompts and was particularly impressed by the imaginative storytelling in every project.\u00a0Kudos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this first plunge into Isadora, my main goal was to get to know the program through experiments in seeing.
