Creative Project 3: Rise and Fall

 

 

 

finished project

 

I have three themes contained in this project that include: life, death, and change.  It starts off the sun, the source of all energy.  The world is full of green and lustrous plant life.  However, they start dying off (turning gray) because humans are destroying the environment in order to make societies.  Soon the plans and trees die off until nothing is left.

Next, humans construct monstrous buildings that seem like they almost pile on top of each other.  Notice how the color still doesn’t return to the piece.

Then, one by one the buildings collapse.  If you look closely, the some of them turn sideways and upside down to represent them falling.  This shows change- the human race is dying off from constant warfare over scarce resources.

Lastly, there is only darkness.  Nothing at all is left- all life is gone. The cycle repeats over and over again as the rise and fall of life on earth.

There is life and death of plant life, life and death of human civilization, and change throughout the duration of my piece.

  1. I really liked the idea that the color faded out of the animation and how you connected that to nature being destroyed by human civilization. I also like how you used the sun to symbolize life source and energy.

  2. I like the theme that you chose to focus on with life, death and change. Very creative and I think your animation portrays a future problem.
