Dreamscape
Dreamscape is an artwork and visual representation of where my mind often wanders to a realm inspired by curiosity, wanderlust and the desire to explore the unknown. I want to depict the word "dreamscape" as a journey into a world of undiscovered wonders, mysteries and stories that spark my imagination.
The concept of Dreamscape incorporates a dreamlike aesthetic and surrealism by utilising random elements to symbolise mind wanderlust. I experimented with filters and adjustments to transform the colours of my photograph to further enhance the meaning of dreamscape and mind wanderlust.
Through this work, I hope to convey the complexity of emotions and imaginations experienced when one lets their mind roam freely. My aim is for viewers to experience wonder, curiosity, and exploring on the limitless possibilities of dreaming and imagining. Dreamscape lets the mind to journey beyond the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Reflection:
As this module approaches its end, I dedicated my time to animating my finalised composition. The animation process was quite time consuming and occasionally challenging as I found myself feeling unsure at times during the process. Observing the different animations my classmates created was both inspiring and insightful as I realised that even minimal animations can also effectively convey a composition’s message.
Surprisingly, I began to enjoy using After Effects despite it not being my favorite software initially. This project has been a valuable learning experience and I have gained a lot of knowledge throughout the process. Mr. Fauzi's feedbacks were helpful while guiding me in refining both my composition and animation.
Overall, this assignment has enhanced my skills and deepened my understanding of design and animation. I am proud of the progress I’ve made and look forward to applying what I’ve learned in future projects.
