CINEMATIC :: 03/09/16 - Transdisciplinary 03 - Patterning

The patterning exercise required us to look at a clip of flowing water and create an animation out of that.  Mine only follows the first few seconds, but it made me think of a fish or microbial creature swimming in a rather playful way, so that's what I ended up making.

I would have liked to spend more time texturing it and abstracting it to truly distance it from the source material, but I think for now giving it characteristics like an almost-mouth make it feel more alive and playful? than a simple imitation of the patterns in water.
