For this pressure project we were assigned to devise something that can hold your attention for as long as possible. For the first two hours of working on this project I was simply clicking through all of the options of what Isadora offered. I wanted to start simple and play with circles. As I continued to discover more things in Isadora I had an idea to create multiple circles with a trailing color of that shape as they move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was inspired by auras and the idea behind someone or something holding a distinctive atmosphere or quality. I grappled with what all can Isadora do and specifically how do I create a colorful trail. Thankfully I found motion blur and that’s what ignited my idea. I started to click through shapes and motion blur (specifically messing with color) and somehow created a colorful trail. Unfortunately I have no idea how I did that. I created 6 scenes and in each scene I used a “User Actor(s)” except for the last scene. I also had a 7 second transition between each scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCENE 1<\/strong> (4 user actors, different colors moving is a diagonal)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

SCENE 2<\/strong> & 3<\/strong> (2 user actors, different colors and scale moving diagonally on the screen)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

SCENE 4<\/strong> I wanted the circles to start moving all over the screen and I discovered Mouse Watcher! Mouse Watcher allowed me to move the designated circles around wherever i dragged my mouse on the screen. I’m now curious about how I can get each circle to move in its own pattern without me dragging my mouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

SCENE 5<\/strong> I became intrigued about what happens when al of the color circles come together. What would it look like? What color trail would it leave? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

SCENE 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

By the 5 hour mark this is what I settled on. I wasn’t able to incorporate a “trigger” or “jump++” actors, however I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish. I’m interested in how the circles or pathways of circles could be affected by audio or some kind of sound. I also see this idea going beyond shapes and possibly looking at body movement and having the aura of that body trail\/ track the movements\/ dancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My project reminded my classmates of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • rainy car crash scene in a movie<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • someone shining a light in your face as you’re waking up<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • moving particles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • the trail of the color gives the black background texture <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
