Bio: Shadowed Shade from On/Off

The Shadowed Shade came from a series of models made for my On/Off animation, showing the potential for a shadow device to project around the room. I played with vacuum forming different shadows to form a shelf like space to put objects into the shadowed animation space. The On/Off film was a piece to demonstrate my process of modelling, and experimenting with the idea of interventions in front of light sources in order to encourage anthropomorphic animation.

The On/Off film was a piece to demonstrate my process of modelling. This process involved analysing different kinds of shadows, shapes, and the effects of interaction between these. With on of the models, during the filming I felt the urge to move a coin that was placed inside it. This model has turned into the prototyped outcome shaded shade. The device has a place to store objects around the lamp, creating a space for play and animation. The rim around the lamp is a circular stage for shadow play.

Bio: Projection Devices

These objects work on the idea of the building up shadows to create a space for animation in the shadows projection on the ceiling. The object encourages the user to interact with the objects stored in the device. Each objects can be either conceal or reveal its personality through its shadow. The images projected can appear quite abstract but I feel this encourages imagination and the user to create narratives around the objects through the act of anthropomorphism.
