I chose pixel art, for it’s ability to strip off subject matters down to mere colored squares, leaving behind only the subjects’ core essence. I’m a 00s’ kid too, so computer graphics grew up with me. Gathering material and staying true to the Past was my core mission - and each scene required&nbsp; dumpster diving and asking for old photos from family and relatives. My sourcing had to be as detailed as possible, so I could maintain that precise realism while also staying true to the memories. Many times I needed to stop everything just to find a certain photo of an object, and not all searches were successful. I could not allow myself to be deceitful. Some of the scenes are actually, much less detailed from the lack of accurate reference. <img width="1726" height="1060" width_o="1726" height_o="1060" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4bfe7d47365f1fcff33c6b6aa33bd1bf044a830598a93c1c4698044ba694dc4/HVniu.png" data-mid="211570663" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4bfe7d47365f1fcff33c6b6aa33bd1bf044a830598a93c1c4698044ba694dc4/HVniu.png" /> <img width="1857" height="1048" width_o="1857" height_o="1048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6763372f2b333b584a519f2858e9f9d97411fa9adb36fbcccbcab9af817123e3/PHCniu.png" data-mid="211570664" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6763372f2b333b584a519f2858e9f9d97411fa9adb36fbcccbcab9af817123e3/PHCniu.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1073" width_o="1920" height_o="1073" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43009a56c16e576bfac6c8909cd324830b29dbf4ff7441b9c6a52a9986f2cedd/128ref.png" data-mid="170592368" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43009a56c16e576bfac6c8909cd324830b29dbf4ff7441b9c6a52a9986f2cedd/128ref.png" /> All of the found reference, from personal and online sources I needed to etch out these spaces on paper first, as the final POVs are kind of ‘locked’, like an architectural plan.

That’s the beauty I intend this project to have, acting almost like a (personal) time capsule. I don’t know what exactly makes a space worthy of being in the roster, but I know they all left a major imprint on me. a speedpaint video to demonstrate my painting process an ambient demo, adding original sound design and minimal animations to increase immersion. A lighting test, going for atmosphere here. Through the recreation of these long-gone spaces, I hope that these cutesy itty bitty pixels encapsulated my childhood spaces, ones that I hold dear and close.&nbsp; The project is a wholehearted invitation inside these worlds. These homes, offices, roads,... all are and were filled to the brim and teeming with not just personal items,&nbsp;but also memories, emotions, the energies and spirits of its inhabitants. This could seem negative and sadness-inducing, but that’s not everything about this project. Nostalgia can be heart-warming and joy-inducing, just as sadness can be enlivening.For me and my own past, each time that I moved houses felt like severing a limb and changing it, for a better, bigger, newer limb. But the thing is, I don't always want my better, bigger, more modern limbs. I want my old limbs back and along with them the feelings and cherished memories. I realized this was an in-dwelling desire to reconnect with my past and my roots.I realized my memories have become in a way not the same, damaged, and barely representing these past relics. But as I’ve said stated before - my only wish was and still is to keep externalizing my inner memories, and in this mortal lifetime, immortalize these withering memories. <img width="1828" height="568" width_o="1828" height_o="568" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd6a973cd8b5e3f74f29a00d24472048d0af6e76e7501bcb3894fbe6f93ab0c1/type.png" data-mid="213472188" border="0" data-scale="61" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dd6a973cd8b5e3f74f29a00d24472048d0af6e76e7501bcb3894fbe6f93ab0c1/type.png" />Medium: pixel art + foam + print Outcome: real-life pixel sets and objects Year: 2023 Time spent: 90 days Green Parks &amp;

I was commissioned to create life-sized objects. I had to decide the physical dimensions of these things, test printed them out to get a feel for the scale, and then made 3D cubes out of glueing said foam pieces together. A huge degree of precision and pre-planning was required, as to minimize the production costs and time. That’s for the objects, but for the sets, I had to digitally plan out which objects or layers would occupy the foreground and background. Very fascinating to tinker with spatial awareness that created my original works and now calculating and speculating their real-life arrangements. <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a86f95a8e4f7af0c377e15575950054959aae6b5d68252550e04851d99cee85/IMG_9120.jpg" data-mid="213479537" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a86f95a8e4f7af0c377e15575950054959aae6b5d68252550e04851d99cee85/IMG_9120.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc5b8a9634a7d0b48b7ade2ac9a64ba084d4e4d2a49b9a55404b0ba7e68819eb/IMG_9406.jpg" data-mid="213479561" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc5b8a9634a7d0b48b7ade2ac9a64ba084d4e4d2a49b9a55404b0ba7e68819eb/IMG_9406.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9be0872f6ec25498bac5810b27aad5a9df57109d6f5bbb99ca961a389c427baf/IMG_9423.jpg" data-mid="213479573" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9be0872f6ec25498bac5810b27aad5a9df57109d6f5bbb99ca961a389c427baf/IMG_9423.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6189305efa12489fb8c8edb0d0a9d6ac365bd546bb531d3a543ee5a9a708ac56/IMG_9245.jpg" data-mid="213479550" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6189305efa12489fb8c8edb0d0a9d6ac365bd546bb531d3a543ee5a9a708ac56/IMG_9245.jpg" /> Behind the scenes of the photoshoot. My work in the actual magazine issue. I made these objects with love and attention, cutting the foam as close to the pixel art printed on it as I humanly could. I got emotional seeing what I drew on a screen step out into real life as objects.I also had quite the fun tinkering with that transition, and even more fun re-imagining iconic objects in pixel art, like vases or teapots and cups (my personal favorite was the chiếu cói - Vietnamese sitting mat)i'm just baffled that Green Parks &amp; Yellow Lights got a chance to grow and evolve, and specifically step outside into the digital world.This process provided me with a novel sense of appreciation for my own artworks, and just how far it has come from just an urge to draw my past to one day making them physical.======== Production Credits: Pixel Art: by yours truly Photographer: Monkey Minh Set Design: Vu Nhat Dang KhoaAssistant: Duy Đặng, Kevin LcRetouch: Trinh Trần &gt; next: “Bọ” - experimental performance &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &gt; home https://abonerinmyheart.cargo.site/b-an-experimental-performance Wed, 08 Jan 2025 07:06:27 +0000 The Anh https://abonerinmyheart.cargo.site/b-an-experimental-performance <img width="220" height="174" width_o="220" height_o="174" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e48396e6495960f6f8d8017267b5e7ddc02e9f11d5946e0aff963968c82de29/boj2x.png" data-mid="224324395" border="0" data-scale="18" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/220/i/1e48396e6495960f6f8d8017267b5e7ddc02e9f11d5946e0aff963968c82de29/boj2x.png" /> an experimental performance - an existential questioning of the soul, life and death, and the sacred. Core Idea: a play, adapted from a series of visual and written works by art Medium:&nbsp; physical performance Outcome: a 30-minute performance Year: 2024 Time spent: 3 weeks &gt;&nbsp;THE FULL PERFORMANCE&nbsp;&lt; about the original author’s work: “Bug” is part of the series “And they will take roots wherever the soil goes,” which contemplates the idea that “We take birth from the soil.” “Bug” consists of two phases: phase 1, which centers on writing practices and visual works (2024), and phase 2, which evolves the previous writing practices into a play (2025).“Bug” encapsulates the artist’s personal convictions regarding the interplay between the soul, life, and death, as well as a discourse with the sacred. Within the dialogue, the two characters embody the constraints associated with responsibility and the perpetual cycle of “birth.” In this scenario, God is viewed as equal to Bug, with neither incarnation being superior to the other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Bọ” (”Bug”) was my first show/performance as a dancer and movement practitioner, for @projectdaysan‘s Dựng program.we created an adaptation of Rab’s @rabtheanimal work - “Bug”. “Bug” is a poem and visual work series that “encapsulates the artist’s personal convictions regarding the interplay between the soul, life, and death, as well as a discourse with the sacred.”without spoiling too much of the 30-minute-ish performance, there’s a God and a Bug in this world, and I was a part of that sublime journey/ritual where these seemingly disproportionate “roles” were subversed, tinkered, played around with.during the 3 weeks of practice and experimenting, i/we felt the creative freedom to do whatever we felt was fitting, and felt the wholehearted support from my fellow performers to the directors and producers/facilitators, and everyone in the audience. Absolutely honored to have been invited by @surrealexpressionism and to perform alongside such veterans @uthaopia @akechi0112xt @benzism__ <img width="1242" height="920" width_o="1242" height_o="920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3743d5484546df983c437152422a22ddfe8ac41e0c56161e9032c340a7f347e1/IMG_8723.PNG" data-mid="224324745" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3743d5484546df983c437152422a22ddfe8ac41e0c56161e9032c340a7f347e1/IMG_8723.PNG" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f0e6a6aa8c5db0ec22d9c6b705e5a621714a2c4e2ab4d35e6c37b83f8217cd1/464035639_1073087947940295_6200584483307547251_n.jpg" data-mid="224324493" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f0e6a6aa8c5db0ec22d9c6b705e5a621714a2c4e2ab4d35e6c37b83f8217cd1/464035639_1073087947940295_6200584483307547251_n.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8db00b2b32dcacd052cb1e6668b7a14f6bfb0692943e91c9eef0c9ae676be46/IMG_8720.JPG" data-mid="224324744" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8db00b2b32dcacd052cb1e6668b7a14f6bfb0692943e91c9eef0c9ae676be46/IMG_8720.JPG" /> <img width="1242" height="1838" width_o="1242" height_o="1838" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d7dd6bd3eede67275a64ad842045c47e43e52dc69a88c9f158bab63789c8c3f/IMG_8724.PNG" data-mid="224324746" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d7dd6bd3eede67275a64ad842045c47e43e52dc69a88c9f158bab63789c8c3f/IMG_8724.PNG" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/65246c1da577423c677932c32c013672e6f9b3d0038d7a450b59e7b5ff0f6ab7/464242036_1073087924606964_1118650442653752417_n.jpg" data-mid="224324497" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/65246c1da577423c677932c32c013672e6f9b3d0038d7a450b59e7b5ff0f6ab7/464242036_1073087924606964_1118650442653752417_n.jpg" /> <img width="1242" height="2105" width_o="1242" height_o="2105" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cb6d3bae6526c87707069ee580c0376e3ee33d9bb10b69861e638fb196f7d7a0/IMG_8716.PNG" data-mid="224324743" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cb6d3bae6526c87707069ee580c0376e3ee33d9bb10b69861e638fb196f7d7a0/IMG_8716.PNG" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/685fbadd222bd04a8537d33a767b3a6860d3144ec5376279daefcfe49b1d111e/464184665_1073088077940282_330282765424614147_n.jpg" data-mid="224324495" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/685fbadd222bd04a8537d33a767b3a6860d3144ec5376279daefcfe49b1d111e/464184665_1073088077940282_330282765424614147_n.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/864db01c1c1170cd8292fe5bd69878a68e561395bca7332b8fe63eead7c9207b/464085253_1073088124606944_2610401348353538137_n.jpg" data-mid="224324494" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/864db01c1c1170cd8292fe5bd69878a68e561395bca7332b8fe63eead7c9207b/464085253_1073088124606944_2610401348353538137_n.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c193cc2e218d76a941dfc5387f608dbd75bd2abd7d5ce7c14f8ba26da2b9698d/464204596_1073087967940293_7380072330852279782_n.jpg" data-mid="224324496" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c193cc2e218d76a941dfc5387f608dbd75bd2abd7d5ce7c14f8ba26da2b9698d/464204596_1073087967940293_7380072330852279782_n.jpg" /> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVERYTHING STILL FEELS SURREAL. I WAS EITHER BOWING OR PUTTING MY FACE AND FOREHEAD TO THE FLOOR. THUS I HAVE BUT A CLUE ON HOW I/WE LOOK. PRACTICE WAS SO DIFFERENT. WHY WAS THE LIGHTING ON SHOWDAY SO GOOD AND ATMOSPHERIC??! WHY DID BEING SEEN BY SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE WITH THE INTENTION TO SPECTATE A PERFORMANCE not scary at all? I/WE WERE SQUIGGLING-TWITCHING-PULSATING ON THE FLOOR and they’re not asking what i’m on and they’re there to support/discuss/wonder what i/we do??contemplating my self-taught-ness in the mediums I choose and how I feel inadequate and uneducated and most of the time an utter amateur. but after performing, i wish to believe that there is more joy and satisfaction to be found just by being curious and true to my nature in the way i practice these disciplines. and it brought me all these amazing people and communities and opportunities…? i wouldn’t have made it here if not for the hours i put in!&nbsp;I guess..I just need to keep practicing,keep experimenting.to keep going, keep being meunapologetically. unabashedly. &nbsp; &gt; next: “currents” - a short story &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

specifically with the 3D software Nomad.&nbsp; I played with sculpting and ended up with this alien-totem-skeletal creature. I tinkered further with lightings and angles as I sculpted more and more. After feeling fatigued and seeing that there was not much more to add, I wrote a short poem to befriend the sculpture. I had been feeling quite in-my-head-spiraling-ruminating-and-wrestling, hence the raw and self-encouraging verses.&nbsp; This artwork is quicker than most of my usual artworks. I was curious to try a different pacing, one that emphasized fleshing out the core feeling more than executing and over-fixating on the “finished-ness” of an artwork. I had soooo much fun coming back to 3D after more than a year away from it. The iPad and Apple Pen’s intuitive mechanical experience was really pleasurable to work in, compared to my usual mouse &amp; keyboard interface. &nbsp; &gt; next: “Silence” - hand-drawn cyber animation &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; home https://abonerinmyheart.cargo.site/Silence Mon, 24 Jun 2024 10:08:58 +0000 The Anh https://abonerinmyheart.cargo.site/Silence <img width="876" height="416" width_o="876" height_o="416" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/be7b9b8e16e617622fb26871cefb3d309efc85bbde044db9815886c7224d5c36/silence.png" data-mid="213893364" border="0" data-scale="26" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/876/i/be7b9b8e16e617622fb26871cefb3d309efc85bbde044db9815886c7224d5c36/silence.png" /> breathing life into a static artwork Core Idea: hand-animating a static artwork in real-life to describe how it grew Medium:&nbsp; Motion graphics Outcome: a hand-drawn animation Year: 2024 Time spent: 3 weeks finding words to describe Silence...— -.... -—.original hand animation + ambiencea reverse-engineering attempt to rewind my static artwork, where i practiced drawing with symmetryinevitably i failed. i am only human. i animated off of feelinglonging to describe how they grew and what i sawi saw shapes, lines and the transitions between them.and beyond the shapes and their compositions….who are the big bedrock world-building boiswho are the ornamental offspring that followed alongdo they grow slowly across spacesor rush to get to their destinationdo they move like a flower bloomingor more like a computerwhere do they start and end,what they gave birth to or left behinddo they care for noone else or do they guide otherswaiting for the others to catch up for themselves to keep goingi keep seeing eyes and faceseye sockets cheekbones nose bridges chinsif only i could coax my own skinaway from this face,away from this reality(i think) this is what i’d see Close-ups (linework version + post-processed version) how it works - a simple cover-up process, then reversed to create the ‘correct’ flow of the drawing.

Medium: photography Outcome: 28 photos with a story woven into them Year: 2023 Time spent: 1.5 months Since when were we humans, above Nature Since when were we humans, above our own mother Since when were we humans, superior to our creator? Our DNA prevailed in the game of evolution We’re here, today, thanks to every generation that came before Since when did we revere pieces of green paper Since when did we decide it was best to be a hedonistic consumer Build a career, get a house, get a spouse. Oblivious to what’s always been around. How nature has been almost forgotten, obscured in our day-to-day Being born in the city, in the concrete jungle is a weird and almost unnatural experience. This was my attempt to reconnect with Nature, albeit in an urban context. This was that yearning, that indwelling longing to find my roots again. It was a dissonant feeling of suffocation Of seeing metal and plastic surrounding my field of view. Of how sad it is that I’ve grown so accustomed to and familiar with man-made things Of a bottle of coke, of a car, of a billboard sign, of a plastic home appliances. I don’t know how to feel about it actually. I don’t exactly despise human things. I just want to find an answer for myself. Question my field of view of the world around me. Toy around and entertain different spectrums of thought. I had no final destination in mind but I had an inner guiding compass. I started with the green, or more specifically, finding green everywhere I go. Spectating how Nature finds a way to still haunt our urban lives, a constant ubiquitous ghostly reminder of our origins. ===================================== Below is the entire series, un-annotated,

Disconnected. This photo is the opener to the whole series.I wanted to start from a place of lifelessness. A construction fence a lamp post on top, against the city’s night sky.Desolation. Loneliness. Melancholy.This is what urban life feels like to me.Artificial. Here’s a couch, representing how we’ve been SO comfortable in this artificial way of life. We’re introduced to vegetation now, but they’re barely there. Washed out from the smog and dust of urban cities. The couch, for me, also meant Reflection. This series is, after all, an investigation on the relationship between my Humanness and Nature. <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1942b6d79e91cd054de3f3d67d763356c4610a1eafe69b0f5f7789d96fc2e674/IMG_8078-2.jpg" data-mid="213482908" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1942b6d79e91cd054de3f3d67d763356c4610a1eafe69b0f5f7789d96fc2e674/IMG_8078-2.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/394f9f69e37ec5604d4e3af11f90cd85e313d42e805f643368b77f1eb052432d/IMG_8075-2.jpg" data-mid="213482907" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/394f9f69e37ec5604d4e3af11f90cd85e313d42e805f643368b77f1eb052432d/IMG_8075-2.jpg" /> As I ‘sat’ down on that couch, I looked around, and became even more dissatisfied with what I saw. I saw colors, but they were nothing more than chemically-induced elements. Neon lights, headlights from passing traffic and screens. I’m just sick of it at this point. Something is surging up my larynx. Sick of the phoniness of it all. How have I been so blind to this all this time? I’m born into it, so why am I feeling a pull on my heart strings. Again, the trees and plants are there, but hardly blossoming or filled with life. They’re merely ornamentative in this context. Patchwork, quick-fixes to include at least some element of Nature. <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a187c537220569cef32518614f7c6070b2efb46a2f306bbcec585c0c168da07/IMG_8107-2.jpg" data-mid="213482911" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a187c537220569cef32518614f7c6070b2efb46a2f306bbcec585c0c168da07/IMG_8107-2.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2c8dd6ec06629a479924ad1499e5c9b7564fa4b1b80160362d9c9c6992d764f4/IMG_8112-2.jpg" data-mid="213482913" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2c8dd6ec06629a479924ad1499e5c9b7564fa4b1b80160362d9c9c6992d764f4/IMG_8112-2.jpg" /> Funny how we’re so unfamiliar with darkness when it’s nighttime. Because we got light bulbs everywhere. Here I further juxtaposed Nature in an urban setting, suggesting a subliminal parallel between the Sun &gt;&lt; Lightbulb; a Tree &gt;&lt; a lamp post. <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/827c53d6f9c55f749b864fcc59d9ae792935d64336ed6135942f3ed09f9d3952/IMG_8037.jpg" data-mid="213482901" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/827c53d6f9c55f749b864fcc59d9ae792935d64336ed6135942f3ed09f9d3952/IMG_8037.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d53723b0e36320b3fe1a2fb748370cc22f2be27d773b8ba7995e6c3556cdd6c/IMG_8105.jpg" data-mid="213482910" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d53723b0e36320b3fe1a2fb748370cc22f2be27d773b8ba7995e6c3556cdd6c/IMG_8105.jpg" /> Life finds a way. Life force is ever-present in the veins of reality. I love the image of tree roots bursting through hard concrete sidewalks. It’s ‘concrete’ proof that there are things we should not try to surpress. Life is fluid, ever-changing and untameable. An unstoppable motherly energetic presence. <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58aef10a60cf6be78b71b6cc77f18245ea4677318a6a572cfa3e02c745386890/IMG_8327.jpg" data-mid="213482921" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/58aef10a60cf6be78b71b6cc77f18245ea4677318a6a572cfa3e02c745386890/IMG_8327.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb8b782c5f9b0931a4f14c45c766ea072233175f023adfd899b1f0095a9d22e9/IMG_8041-2.jpg" data-mid="213482902" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb8b782c5f9b0931a4f14c45c766ea072233175f023adfd899b1f0095a9d22e9/IMG_8041-2.jpg" /> Here, we transition more onto what mankind currently place Nature at. Landfills, dumps, piles of scrap. We’ve made mountains out of them. How ironic, that we leveled out majestic mountains and hills. only to build back-up worse versions of them. I wanted to strike that feeling of our irresponsibility and carelessness regarding our impact on the natural environment. <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/492e1d1067d19dd8a3e55eb80eb18479a948d9f2b39ebf1da86d9501f5fa7bb3/IMG_8044.jpg" data-mid="213482903" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/492e1d1067d19dd8a3e55eb80eb18479a948d9f2b39ebf1da86d9501f5fa7bb3/IMG_8044.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7b98e2b275535ba09d0df7d9e4c6304c2760c9d01bf8d3a1087b81499f46ddb/IMG_1252.jpg" data-mid="213482897" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7b98e2b275535ba09d0df7d9e4c6304c2760c9d01bf8d3a1087b81499f46ddb/IMG_1252.jpg" /> “When did Nature ever become the background, a thing to be considered in hindsight, and not first and foremost?” This question was on loop in my mind.

A series of photos displaying this overgrown, abandoned, almost peaceful serenity. These machines I found were discarded, left for dead. Nature took it into its loving arms. Is that thing still man-made or is now Natural? <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0e326320cce4433b506344c032178790ba93a6c32bac4d9d0f3478e47ab6e24/IMG_8336.jpg" data-mid="213482925" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0e326320cce4433b506344c032178790ba93a6c32bac4d9d0f3478e47ab6e24/IMG_8336.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/842a53dbe8803cf01014b623c2fe79f1f3a548bbe8a9a8ad14d7a7ea4091b936/IMG_8332.jpg" data-mid="213482924" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/842a53dbe8803cf01014b623c2fe79f1f3a548bbe8a9a8ad14d7a7ea4091b936/IMG_8332.jpg" /> A slight poke at capitalism and the modern lifestyle. Is Nature&nbsp; priceless? We seem to have put a price tag on it haha.

I toyed with the contrast here. Hard steel and metal vs. soft, lushful greenery. The beast is asleep, possibly indefinitely.&nbsp; Decommissioned.

Forgiveness, that’s what this photo meant to me. <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e1623ac1beceec48a63e7f1ae72beab890a9d2d6b0c7876e0beda27cd2d5be22/IMG_8310-2.jpg" data-mid="213482915" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e1623ac1beceec48a63e7f1ae72beab890a9d2d6b0c7876e0beda27cd2d5be22/IMG_8310-2.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f6edbbc7a3c99837a7c12d8c5fe81aaaf32fdf428366298dd51f383d9692a89/IMG_8312.jpg" data-mid="213482916" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f6edbbc7a3c99837a7c12d8c5fe81aaaf32fdf428366298dd51f383d9692a89/IMG_8312.jpg" /> So, what do we do now? How can I both reconnect with Mother and live as a city dweller? How do I reconcile and amend this situation? I intentionally used the orange-yellow, almost piss-colored lighting at night to suggest/foreshadow a fusion of Man and Nature. <img width="2048" height="1024" width_o="2048" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2dd4959289860e0ee7493a3ece6720b5792e35e0614986286501996c89a08785/IMG_8319.jpg" data-mid="213482918" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2dd4959289860e0ee7493a3ece6720b5792e35e0614986286501996c89a08785/IMG_8319.jpg" /> The fusion is painful, visceral to a sense.

Lines of text, maybe some parts stylized.Even so, I was ambitious enough to say “I’ll make an animation for this.”This one was a long time coming, with the concept born in March but only bloomed in December. That voyage was long and constantly withering and coming back to life. This wasn’t my first project where I was in charge of everything, start to finish, but this was definitely the biggest. I had complete creative freedom to play around and experiment, and yet that seemed more daunting than it is liberating. I got too comfortable without the pressure of time. And when it came to just me and It, my visions of the project were violent, bursting with novelty but they were actualized at much a slower pace, drowned out by how I agonized over every little frame. Some sequences saw barely 5 seconds of screen time but costed me a few days - going pixel to pixel, frame to frame, line after line. Some scenes saw no progress at all, even after 2 months. <img width="1846" height="972" width_o="1846" height_o="972" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31b4b3a98deffc76b075a41cea3ff13b3b28325dd97509bb4a90d57af2d8a765/stb1.png" data-mid="170659552" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31b4b3a98deffc76b075a41cea3ff13b3b28325dd97509bb4a90d57af2d8a765/stb1.png" /> <img width="1826" height="925" width_o="1826" height_o="925" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b10221d93989966dee5b3b39ebf794ab994dfe98e0864e7fac52975d48d95136/stb2.png" data-mid="170659553" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b10221d93989966dee5b3b39ebf794ab994dfe98e0864e7fac52975d48d95136/stb2.png" /> <img width="1873" height="945" width_o="1873" height_o="945" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ca94c6990e696eebf0cecc003a16098ceb4721a7f2458bfb821a205a35932a0/stb3.png" data-mid="170659558" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ca94c6990e696eebf0cecc003a16098ceb4721a7f2458bfb821a205a35932a0/stb3.png" /> <img width="1836" height="880" width_o="1836" height_o="880" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6cdbc8039004146aa71fd8455a89f25c73738d06f5a8e338916770021eb428e9/stb4.png" data-mid="170659563" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6cdbc8039004146aa71fd8455a89f25c73738d06f5a8e338916770021eb428e9/stb4.png" /> Storyboard excerpts <img width="2254" height="2480" width_o="2254" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e5fbca2f1d418ff7b2359d1865a036fb0974107f796c2c11f96abbb3d23a827/stb-5.png" data-mid="170659551" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6e5fbca2f1d418ff7b2359d1865a036fb0974107f796c2c11f96abbb3d23a827/stb-5.png" /> Screenplay I’m immensely proud of what I’ve created.But I cringe watching it, and scold myself for what I could have done.It’s always like this. The paradox of pride and regret, of pure creative pleasure and unrealistic perfectionist tendencies. I’ll always be proud, but a part of me will always nag myself on things that could have been done differently, better, and more polished. Even if I was a creative machine with zero obstacles on my journey to arrive at a final tangible product, I honestly think I would still be discontent. I would still itch for something more.Where’s an end to pushing something to its maximum potential, or do we just decide on a destination? Is there even a destination?I can’t answer that yet. And I do not want to.I’d like to live with that burgeoning paradox,and allow myself to dance more in the space between. &gt; next: ‘The Sense of Self’ sound design &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &gt; home https://abonerinmyheart.cargo.site/The-Sense-of-Self-sound-design Thu, 23 Feb 2023 13:28:11 +0000 The Anh https://abonerinmyheart.cargo.site/The-Sense-of-Self-sound-design <img width="597" height="121" width_o="597" height_o="121" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b31603bde219a651e7f8105171b54a80b438904a725c00910ec9445507ebf9b2/TSPS.png" data-mid="170801063" border="0" data-scale="57" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/597/i/b31603bde219a651e7f8105171b54a80b438904a725c00910ec9445507ebf9b2/TSPS.png" />original sound design &amp; score <img width="660" height="660" width_o="660" height_o="660" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eda2fe4db0d450e49d7d0228689859ec7e34d37175ac709d4828c8f7171de7fb/poem.png" data-mid="170662624" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/660/i/eda2fe4db0d450e49d7d0228689859ec7e34d37175ac709d4828c8f7171de7fb/poem.png" /> the original poem about ontology - questioning the nature of existence/being. Core Idea: Exploration of the sense of Self and the nature of Existence Medium: music + sound Outcome: an original soundtrack + SFX Year: 2023 Time spent: 2 weeks My friend created an original poem, then an animation to accompany it. I agreed to jump in and help her with the sound, seeing the potential for it. As the animation was following her poem closely, the sound had to follow both the poem and the animation too. Given with a few keywords and defining moods: Ambient Subtle World-building Mysterious From the ground up, I looked for what notes to use and what chords/chords progression would fit the animation well. Next, I looked for the right digital instruments for said chords/notes. <img width="1512" height="1786" width_o="1512" height_o="1786" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6c1886082f9feb208c7273bba6c390c4c252e912a54258bc9d90dbd19dfb0c6/tproz.jpg" data-mid="170788861" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6c1886082f9feb208c7273bba6c390c4c252e912a54258bc9d90dbd19dfb0c6/tproz.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1594" width_o="1200" height_o="1594" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a691aea04daa3da9553e15e11959ec5eaec40a5bfff0d766260a78bcec4ea6c/tproz2.jpg" data-mid="170788862" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a691aea04daa3da9553e15e11959ec5eaec40a5bfff0d766260a78bcec4ea6c/tproz2.jpg" /> IRL annotations of mood, of potential instruments to use, of key actions to support <img width="1905" height="1359" width_o="1905" height_o="1359" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb22abba038cf8cbc669e8b903919d6f840b3eaa49b6ca15b58ec4a70bec949b/Daw.png" data-mid="170661096" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb22abba038cf8cbc669e8b903919d6f840b3eaa49b6ca15b58ec4a70bec949b/Daw.png" /> <img width="1914" height="1040" width_o="1914" height_o="1040" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9173fb9fbbb6df29e171cb058a1a17a3a41afda1c34f27d64684a63800a2d5d2/fl.png" data-mid="170803049" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9173fb9fbbb6df29e171cb058a1a17a3a41afda1c34f27d64684a63800a2d5d2/fl.png" /> My workspace in FL Studio The entire process was a trial-and-error thing, as I have zero knowledge in music theory, or musical software, so I had nothing but my inner sense of how certain sounds reflect certain emotions, and a lot of tutorials.
