I want to apply computation to storytelling and virtual production.
1)I’m very interested in narrative computation.I worked as a screenwriter for several years and when I wrote scripts(especially Chinese soap opera scripts),I realized that most work are repetitive and uncreative after we built the whole story structure.I hope to explore a way to write scripts with computation.Then some screenwriters can become creative writers and others are replaced by computer.That means,scriptwriters only responsible for the creative parts after computer write basic ones.
At present,some studios have used computation to evaluate scripts.That’s why I believe it’s a feasible way,based on Structuralism Script-writing method(my script writing professor YangJian) and through machine learning(I’m not familiar with machine learning yet).
2)I care about virtual production.I knew that now in film-making area,directors can see actors performing in virtual scenes directly now.It’s a great progress in film-making area.I’m thinking about whether it’s possible to product these virtual scenes through computation.Then it will be cheaper as well as more convenient.I want to have a try.
After I read the Inspiration-ITP,
3）I’m in to Renaissance – 2006 animated film and Animations for ITV2 British TV Channel. I also want to have a try in this kind of film-making.
4)Subway Desertsalso arouse my interest.
I recently noticed a phenomenon，
Food delivery industry is developing so fast in China and we can get out our food within 28mins. Computer algorithms are constantly optimizing the time that food must be delivered and the deliver-person will be punished if they won’t arrive before their deadline.The problem is, in pursuit of speed, they will cause a lot of road safety problems.Meanwhile customers know nothing about that and are still very strict with the delivery time.
I hope to make a visual map similar to the “Subway Desert” to make people aware of the severity of the road safety problem caused by this phenomenon.
5）I will spend more time on Future of Storytelling, .
And I’m going to explore more possibilities I haven’t thought of now.
My first p5.js drawing
Step1,I decided to draw my lovely little tiger,which is an image that my partner and I like to use as signature.
Step2,I drew a sketch.(I don’t know how to make it more like my little tiger above.)
I met two problems here,
1)I want to use arc to show the ear,but I don’t know how to rotate it to the angle I want.Then I decided to use circle instead.
2)About “moustache” part, I failed to use curve properly,then I use ellipse instead.
Step3,I colored my little tiger.
In the whole process,I have several questions.
1)How to rotate “arc” and “ellipse”? (I’m going to google it later.)
2)How to use curve properly? I have read the reference,and it’s hard to figure out the exact meaning of the numbers.
3)It’s hard to find the exact place that I want to draw on the canvas and I tried to change the numbers over and over again.Is there any smarter ways?
4)How to change the value of RGB to make the color brighter? For example,I want to have a bright turquoise circle,but I find it too dark.How to change the value of G and B to make it brighter?I found that increasing the value of G and B can make it brighter.I want to know if it suitable for all situations?
