HUM 203: The World in Motion, Animation in Theory and Practice

Assignment 1

Assignment 2

Final project

My simple animation entitled Big Bang was done on Photoshop with original drawings, sampled cropped pictures, and original photos. The piece is meant to illuminate man’s burning curiosity of the origination of time. It begins with an arbitrary singularity rapidly expanding in a single instance, establishing the beginning of time itself and continues to show a boy’s curiosity for the big bang. A main theme of the piece is “In an awkward passing, we find the birth of a universe.” which explores the randomness of the beginning of many universes, be them literal or organizations in life. While watching this piece the viewer should be reminded of their own childhood curiosity at life and inspired to explore their imagination when contemplating difficult concepts, such as the beginning of time.
