Video: The Ear
THE EAR. A new short film by Yi Zhou FEATURING PHARRELL WILLIAMS MUSIC BY ENNIO MORRICONE. Inspired to Gogols short story entitled The Nose from the Petersburg tales, Yi have written her latest short film about the absurd story of the loss of an ear. The ear is actually the key element of the film, shot in RED and partly to be made in 3d animation. Throughout the film, the ear and inner ear as a whole turn themselves into an EarBrige as they get crossed by a bridge. The EarBridge is part of a public project proposal for Baku, Azerbaijan that includes a number of important international contemporary artists.

I might have underestimated or short-changed the entire field of animation. However, no one is to blame but myself. I might have taken a different position if I had an understanding of “creating YOUR OWN style of aesthetic.” One of my problems throughout all of my animation courses was that I felt each animation was suppose to look a specific way. And for those who know me well, Doug and my 8th grade tutor, I have a meticulous nature of making things exactly the way they are seen, so I allot all my time trying to do just that. For those who might be interest in animation, don’t make the mistake I made. DON’T get caught up in technicalities, create your own style of aesthetic, and manage your time properly – create your storyboard, and plan your approach.
All About the Love Again made me think about my attitude towards animation, and maybe I could have gave more effort in my courses, nevertheless, I still managed to pass both animation classes that I took. I doubt it will ever be one of my favorite thigns to do, but I might go back and try to better my skills.

Video: Wit and Whimsy
Watch this phenomenal video to see a fully grown python kill and eat a deer. I find this interesting every-so-often. Life is so primitive in several aspects. I feel like I could write a paper showing how analogous human interaction with its environment, sociology, and wildlife, primitive behavior, can really be. Or maybe my mind is just wandering…
Seriously, are the many aspects of life Whit and Whimsy? In my design research I read, “Wit and Whimsy: intelligence, humor, double entendre, and folly.” From esoteric homage to downright goofiness, what is the intelligence and what is the goofiness in our lives?
