At first, I thought that I was going to do a podcast with my friend via zoom, however the friend was not answering for quite a long time, so I have prepared a plan B, which included:

1. A creation of a beat with Ableton 10 Lite ( it came out quite weird, as it was my first time making a beat *especially with different objects involved*)

2. Creating a video/animation, which shows the objects in a new and a modern way.

At first, I thought to just stick to stop motion animation and complete everything there, then I have realised that it would take me at least couple of days more, that’s when I found an opportunity in After Effects and kinetic typography. I knew that I would not have enough time anyway, so I have decided to go with more of a pleasing and educational way.

A bit of thinking process behind the video:

Final Result:

From the 26 objects I have chosen before I was mostly interested in small things for some reason, so I did not have a hard time deciding. However, I think I should’ve taken more time on finding different ways of translation of the chosen objects, but animating the objects for me was definitely fun!

1st object: Ligher (clipper); Link to notion and animation:

I have been collecting socks since a very young age, but never could organise them properly, this time I have used the opportunity to actually do it. In my collection there are approximately 60 different pairs of socks. I have organised them by colour on the cover page, then by category on the inside. (All socks been scanned)

You can access the publication about classification of socks by clicking here:

(It’s a folder, I hope it’s organised correctly, but if not I hope you will find the front/back of the cover, that’s all, thank you!)

However, I did not want to just stop on socks, so I have looked around the house in hope to find some interesting hidden patterns in relation to the objects, try to relate the unrelated. Thus, I found out that there were quite a lot of things with a metallic surface, so I have classified them by the colour of the metal.

You can access the publication considering metallic surfaces here:
