SWITCH
3D Design, Animation
someform Studio Individual Project
2024
SWITCH visualises multiplication of a product into a ridiculous amount, to portray abundance as a result of ageing of products.
Lisa Tobiasson’s Role
The video is Lisa Tobiasson’s individual design and animation for a project at someform Studio during an internship spring 2024.
Brief
The overarching theme of the project is ‘the lifespan of products’, from which free design explorations were made. Technical specifications: none.
Design
Aging of product. Multiplication of Switches.R&D
First exploration to visualize the concept of abundance.An exploration that presents the context of the cabinet as furniture. However, in the final version, the entire room consists of switches, to exaggerate the ridiculousness of the abundance.
Production
From a narration point of view, a challange was to visually motivate why the switches have been upcycled. The solution was to create a shader that adds animated imperfections, or “lovemarks”, to visualise the ageing.
An abundance of switches.
F-curves. Focus on timing and pacing, to make the animation dynamic. For instance, the rotation of the cabinet was polished meticulously.
