Storytelling, presentation, vidéo¶
Reference¶
Fabricademy 19-20 - Recitations - Storytelling with Teresa van Twuijver from Fabricademy, Textile Academy on Vimeo.
Old storyboard version
V1 storyboard
The storytelling make me very anxious and didn't really see in the first approach where I was going. Mahaut Locher help me for working on it in this V1.
V1/ microbial
- chapter 1 : Contemplation
- chapter 2 : Feedstock
- chapter 3 : Recipe
- chapter 4 : Growing phase
- chapter 5 : Molding step
- chapter 6 : Drying and post production
- chapter 7 : Transmission
- chapter 8 : Next open view
Between, we had exchange in the group with Petra Garajova our mentor. At a moment she talk about making a teaser is aswell possible. This idea was running in my mine and aswell she recommand to add more context on it.
V2 storyboard
- V2/ invitation to travel in the microbial
After an exchange with Paul Fresnel, the V2 start. Finally this help me more for my final presentation to finding a plan for explaining where I went during this last 3 months and having a structure for not losting the auditors.
- Introduction: travel connection, the microbial and me (20s)
The mycelium: working with living matter (45s) - What is mycelium and why is it interesting 15s: sequences of short videos of mycelium + explanations - Experiments & Results 15s: personal photos and videos - Conclusions: what worked / didn't work / constraints and solutions found 15s: photos and personal videos Transition: there is another very interesting microorganism because of its ease of cultivation
Kombucha (45s) - What is kombucha and why is it interesting 15s: sequences of short videos of kombucha + explanations - Experiments & Results 15s : photos and personal videos - Conclusions: what worked / what didn't work / constraints and solutions found 15s: photos and personal videos
Conclusion of the video (40s) - Observations and taking a step back : "I faced difficulties and I found solutions that could be useful in the future". - Opening towards the future of the project and its potential - The practice spreads: transmission of knowledge... a useful knowledge - Crossing between microorganisms - Application under title

V3 - Traveling
After a discussion with Capucine Robert my mentor, she recommand me aswell to working more of my context and the introduction of my video and using good quality of image. The V3 start.
Learning with micro organism bring me back in the old souvenir to travel. This test use some captation to my previous traveling in Russia, Mongolia, Japan inside train.
After Effect¶
I use Premiere Pro first for having a quick version on it, for see quickly if it's realistic or not.
Finally I go in After Effect for making it, and start again to scratch.
I ask some help of Théo Brice for using After Effect, I used it long time ago but I was needed some of reminder on it.
He share me some tips aswell for mixing my picture together to right and after going to left for making something more slowly when I have to mix them together going fare then inside the picture. And how it's important to changing the rythm at some moment and not having to much same things inside the video.
MAJ = moving and copy the media
U = for edit the keys
CMD K = for changing the parameter inside the composition
He teach me how having good export for the video and save the parameter.
Export :
-
MP4 : Media encoder
-
H264 = MP4
-
Encodage du débit = CBR
-
Debit cible
After this I was going back inside After Effect for making others versions, we had others exchange with Capucine Robert. Finally I decide to make a "teaser introduction" of my context with fews images of the project for giving the intention on it.
V4 The new script¶
1- Introduce the context:
Planet, forest, mushrooms, bacteria microscopic. Going more and more deep with some alternate to micro and macro. Like taking the height and going back inside deeeply. Trying to having this feeling inside.
2- The results
-
Mycelium
-
Kombucha scoby
-
Finishing with the mix of the microorganism.
3- Logo and credits
I was really woried to use kind off of the same process of combination of pictures for my video because Lauriane Beaumont use it for her video. She inspire me by the collaboration we made but I wanted something who introduce our subjects of together. Finding the good limit was difficult.
For my video I didn't want to expose so much the hard image of climate change and the pollution. I would like to show the beauty of the nature we have arround us. I think OK we know the planet burn and we know is a desaster but I would like something more positive about nature with sentance inside, questioning ourself.
Aswell I wanted to changing the scale, It's why again after discussions with Capucine Robert, I finally decide to use some free vidéo for having good quality of render for the first part.
Final video:¶
After the 46th export it's the final one.
The Text
Imagine a world where
people could grow their own furnitures
produce their own energy
build their own habitats
recycle their own water
a world where our trash would not be a problem
but a ressource
What if this was not an utopia?
Microorganisms are everywhere,
everywhere inside of us,
everywhere around us,
They were here before and will still be there after us.
Orchestrating the perfect symphony of the living world
How about taking inspiration from them?
How about living in symbiosis with them ?
Text and rythm:
Julien Morisse Chevallier and Gregoire Mariault help me for the english corrections and feedback on it aswell for the position of the text and the rythm, finally Julien recommand me to place it in the center and having some black screen one time for marking the time.
The sound:
Was difficult to find one, I would like something ambiant and didn't arrive to find one. I ask Simon Safar, who produce music with Leopold Escude if incase he didn't have something in stock possible to free to use and feeting with the mood.
Finally he send me the sound there are in my final video, I was fall in love on it and thinking is a perfect mood I want.
Simon Safar and Leopold Escude, rdg tribe, noah - sfar - untitled
Identity:
I made the the logo and wanting this inside my video for having a link with the others documents relative to the project. More info here
Picture:
The first part of the video use a free library: Adobe stock, pexels. This part sets the context.
In the 00:43, it's following by our personal pictures made with Lauriane Beaumont during experimentations process, the picture are not edited.
