For Project 3: Exhibition Design

Introduction

I am going to create a motion graphic for the exhibition design, and projected it onto the wall in a small room, the purpose of this project is going to present the facial expression which formed by a set of vector drawings.

Basic Structure

The structure of the huge face was based on the facial makeup of the Beijing Opera, and the small parts of the face comprise a mix of anything in the world, that is in order to present the combination of ancient and modern to the audience.

The inspiration and style of the facial expressions come from Beijing opera; it is a form of traditional Chinese theater which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. And by the characters in the opera, their stage costumes, and their eccentric patterns of Beijing opera masks (facial makeup), which are certainly exaggeration of the true lineaments. I am very interested in this, because its unique style, for example like, its music is mysterious and grotesque, the makeup in it is almost an art in itself, and its unique music; this is what I need to make the conception original and special.

How does that works
I will place 2-3 projectors in the studio, then the audience walks into there and seeing the motion graphic which has several huge faces appear on the screen.
