The Naked¶
Majesty and Vulnerability¶
You get naked emotionally.
You set yourself free from all the burdens.
You reach emotional maturity.
You let yourself flow, dance, and be vulnerable with your soul.
Now, it's you facing you—loving yourself, accepting, appreciating,
embracing all your flaws, mistakes, emotions, past, present, and now.
Inspiration¶
In this section I wanted to showcase that emotions are closer to the skin, closer to the soul if you well, majesty and vulnerbility, they are the core of our emotions, the core of who we are.
Projection Mapping Tests¶
Initially, I wanted to use projection mapping as a way to animate emotions on the body—to show their dynamism and flow.
I experimented with TouchDesigner to project these animations, but due to the complexity of projection mapping and time constraints, I decided to pause this approach and focus on a more accessible and straightforward method to convey the same concept.
After Effects Animation¶
I imported an SVG line from Adobe Illustrator and manipulated it using Turbulent Displace and Repeater effects in After Effects to simulate a flowing line animation.
Watch this tutorial to better understand the process:
The outcome was a mesmerizing animation of dancing lines that beautifully captured the emotional essence.
Outcome¶
On the day of the photoshoot, I brought a projector and displayed the animation directly onto the model.
By playing with shadows and lighting, I created a projection mapping effect—without using actual tracking or mapping software.
