“A stop motion visualisation of my digital media project. Will scan a twitter feed for tweets talking about Windows 7, pick out keywords grouped into 6 major emotions categories and display one of six video (will be 10 seconds) depending on the most popular emotion at that point in time. Video will display emotions acted out by a PC man of Mac vs PC adverts fame – acted out by my dear friend Liam, who will be rotoscoped.”

I’m currently rotoscoping scenes of a friend vibrantly acting out the role of PC, beautifully displaying the six emotions of “disgust, happiness, anger, neutrality, sadness and surprise”. For ‘sadness’ we decided drinking and weeping was a good way to portray this, so he drank cold coffee (for the colour, and to avoid doing shots) for a couple of takes out of a whiskey bottle. The disgust was authentic.
