Week5 Independent Study

In the machinima documentary, I have used several different techniques of expression to illustrate a realist feeling of pure war. Through the video, I tried to explore the real and virtual modes of video documentary. In the documentary, the elements I have used include weather, music, time of day, lights and the blast. The time of day is an important clue in my machinima documentary. It indicates the period of the state of pure war. When the war began, the time of day was at nightfall. The time of day went dark for a night as the war turned more violent. At last, peace is the result of pure war and the sun rises and a new day begins. The two lighted barrels mark the place of pure war. Although, the first time's fight was not success, after the recovery, enemies were all destroyed by nuclear power. Finally, a new day began and the peace was coming.

Installment of Pure War:


In this installment, I have created scenes of the real-time war. The video starts with the blast from the distant place and this is also related to the concept of pure war. The techniques of expression that were used in this installment include weather, music, time of day, lights and the blast. As the time of the day is one important clue of the installment, I tried to represent pure war through half of one day. It starts from the twilight and this is also the start of the war. The blast from the distant place and the car can be seen as the sign of the start of the war. When the lights switched on, it is the time of war. As for the end of the installment, the sun rises and a new day begins. At the same time, smoke and fire have ended and this represents the peace.

Sketchup model in Sandbox2

Pure War Model



For this model, it is shaped like a cover or barrel which also can be seen from the real war. I used the idea of pure war which is mutated war exists in a permanent pure state. To make sure this model is more like a cover, I used this texture like camouflage.

Week1: The Pachube Feed





I found Pachube to be a very interesting website where users can monitor the various sensors of place all across the world. I have read through many of the feeds on Pachube and this one shows three indicators in Hongkong. It is interesting  to see the difference between outdoor and indoor. These feeds can indicate how well people's daily life in the different parts on the globe.
