Human emotion and expression are naturally not existing on animal face, but it is an essential technique for Disney to create a story upon animal.

It is helpful to see through the various actions and get hold of the interaction between human and the environment. . #anatomy #humangesture #lineofaction #drawing #sketch ST

Motion analysis and practice Sketch with Motion is dedicated to delivering meaningful messages with storytelling and humor. The illustration of human pose and gesture help with a better compregension of body mechanic as well as human form which will apply in areas of animation and design.

Line of Action! !

Workflow: I create two different version of rendering values. Compared to this, another one is more attractive as storytelling.

Create a precise shadow of each object. The construction line is important.
Now every component is very precise!

Animation is about acting, about emotion, about exaggeration. I analysis and abstract features and principles, form as different sequencial actions. 23 Likes Sharon Tao The most powerful and straightforward way to animate poses and actions. Next time I’ll try these on Mickey mouse! #animation #sequentialposes #characteranimation #funnystory #animationprinciples #demoreel ST
Smart City
City is the last place to ask for solution
Is it smart enough?
Smart city now is a very popular concept for urban innovation. It was brought up by big tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and etc. As an urban solution, this project is an attempt to examine the legitimacy of smart city as a solution to solve urban problems. This project chooses the site of Chongqing as its test bed and try to illustrate the living conflicts and disillusion in the city, because it is the city in China known as the mixture of modern, post-modern and futuristic urban site.
ST
City as an integrated whole, is always developed in a non-sigular way, which means it won’t ask for a single solution. As the photos showed below, this city is a very complex environment.

the new technology is challenging the boundary of private and public, just like the photo showed on the left. when technology like 5G and IoT become the part of public service, it is then injected into our daily life, how could we dealing with the new shifting boundary?

19 Likes Sharon Tao This is a diagram shows how different new technology can build innovative relationship between existing social group and function. The technology here is treated as a plugin block which can form the connection. #smartcity #technology #google #plugin #publicservice
Here is a prototype of plugin city, in which all different kind of public service functions can be easily pluged into the existing city and it is managable for any individual. The question to push this project forward might be to what extent the government can control the personal data and is there an interface as third party to help people to organize themselves in an efficient way.
Nameless
The contemporary operational glossary with no name
Can name represent identity?
It is an age that people are drunk in the sea of information. There are too many nameless, and it is no longer an issue of how to name things. Instead, it is the time we need to learn how to take action without name and how to survive without name.
ST
Name is normally static and is used as noun. But I think design should always be a verb and be dinamic all the time. Name should not define the identity of any process of designing.
13 Likes Sharon Tao Nameless. This is an entangled era, everything is winded together. A lot of things we see today no longer have a proper name. By using the digital 3D modeling software, I made some operational shapes without an existing noun in my head. Most of them are probably verbs. #integration #operation #movement #shape #nameless . . . Sharon Tao Inspired by the work of Softlab in Newyork
Chongqing The city of cyberpunk
This is a serious of photos I took in Chongqing city China, Documenting how the city is struggling with fast economic development and its own traditional culture.
ST
It is Wulong here, can’t believe it is a part of that cyberpunk city
25 Likes Sharon Tao How tradition survived? Chongqing is a mountain city in middle China, and it occupied an important economic and political role in China as a municipality which is treated as a province. It is facing the lagging geographical economy, focused policy, and struggling in between strong local tradition and the height of new tech innovation. #newtech #tradition #vernacular #local #globalization
