Digital Media Animation

Project Description

ASSIGNMENT

Develop and design a digital media experience on any topic. My team of 3 decided to transform this project into an entire 3-dimensional immersive experience within a 10 ft x 10 ft room. Starting from the ocean's surface, digital projections slowly submerge visitors through the 5 different levels of the ocean and illuminate different bioluminescent organisms. Play with light and audio recordings accompanied by an ocean soundscape are part of the journey. Here, I explored how a digital interactive can be transformed into an entire immersive exhibit.

EXHIBITION TITLE

BIOLUMINESCENCE

Essential Light

BIG IDEA

Marine life from the surface of the ocean to the depths of the seas use bioluminescence for survival.

PAPER PROTOTYPING

I created a paper prototype of the brittle star fish, moving its tentacles slightly in a stop motion animation experiment.

TITLE WALL ANIMATION

In order to thoughtfully prepare visitors for an enclosed and submersive digital experience, the title wall located outside the room was constructed to match the tone and look within. Introduction text tells visitors of the chemical reaction of bioluminescence, ranging in bright alluring or detracting colors throughout the five levels of the ocean.
