Description

This project was in coordination with two other students. I wanted to bring more of the technology aspect into a physical product and we unanimously agreed on this idea. There was few discussion on initial sketches and surprisingly not much deviation from the original idea.

One difficulty we had was matching the styles of each element. I wanted to go for semi-realistic objects while maintaining that “enchanting” nostalgic feeling. When storyboarding the animation, I wanted an organic movement to the fish, so I used my pen to create a sort of “flow” that the fish could follow.

Reflection

As like the others, it was a long process during the making of the physical. I would fix some technical issues such as the resin not fully curing in time and creating a more natural look to the surrounding earth.

It was fulfilling on the day of presentation to be able to pour water into the pond for the first time. Unexpectedly, I liked the glow from the screen of the iPad reflecting off of the water.
