Final

Filming

It proved very hard to get a studio and a good dancer to condribute in my final project. By chance my best friend from Australia who is a world renouned ballet dancer was visiting Auckland and competing in a competition on the same weekend I was back at home. I got permission to film and got help with different camera angles from my friend Daniel Plested. I was able to film her rehursal, warm up and actual stage performance but came to conclusion that the stage performance was the best one, and edited and added my own music that suited.

To explain the methods and techniques of creative coding to a complete, clueless stranger, is a difficult task. It can look very complex and becomes very difficult to understand the in's and out's of the way in which the computer program responds to the data that we insert into it. The project that we have been asked to do is to explain one of these techniques without using words, to someone who has no knowledge in the area. I have chosen to go with loop(). For this particular technique I am going to show it in the format of something that I am very passionate about, and that can be expressed in many different forms. To show the job of a loop() I have gotten a Classical ballet dancer to perform a sequence of movements. Once she has completed the sequence of movements, to the provided music, she stops, as does the music. Then she repeats this, but instead, she goes up a level of difficulty and repeats the sequence at a faster pass, and the music complies. This is repeated 3-4 times. This will show my audience the function of a loop(), as it causes the dancer to excite her sequence of movements continuously. that it and it is clear for them what it is used for by being compared with something that happens in life.
