Horripilation

hor·rip·i·la·tion definition

Pronunciation:  /hȯ-ˌrip-ə-ˈlā-shən, hä-/ 
Function: n 
:  a bristling of the hair of the head or body (as from disease,terror, or chilliness) : GOOSE BUMPS 


Our project;


to make a short animated film of 90-120 seconds using the word 'horripilation as the starting point for inspiration.


Our first meeting had several themes and ideas;


...perhaps to make the whole film as if a title sequence...


montage
expectation
things not quite revealed


pace
rhythm
repetition
visceral
shadows
darkness
red
black


most of these terms I think can correlate to both music and visuals. 


Musically, I thought that using the human voice / body to make the complete soundtrack would be an interesting response to the given theme. I will be exploring different vocal sounds and percussive elements that can be made and manipulated to create a feeling of discomfort.

    Hello team,

    I've been researching the last few days about ideas and i came up with something.
    Have a look at the links I posted and I'll be explaining below what we could create.
    Some images may disturb...

    My idea behind these videos/images is to give you an example of how we could manipulate creepy images or faces to have them appearing as ghosts etc. I like David's idea of gothic church etc as i mention on my previous post and we could add on it by having sudden animated imagery using a variety of methods.
    We could use some shots of David's ideas, then use a variety of effects to create creepy imagery and create something like a "movie trailer" which doesn't exactly convey a story or the whole story, and it is also more abstract as an outcome. In other words, this way we'll be using a bit of everybody's ideas and also we can all animate a bit of it :) The good part of using this idea is that we can use after effects to animate and manipulate the videos and imagery and since you told me (Sylvia and David) that you are not that familiar with after effects, it's a good chance maybe to learn how to use it because i can teach you how to create such effects. :)

    Let me know what you think :)
