Mobius- My Thoughts on the Piece

When watching Mobius my initial thoughts were a mixture of confused and astonished as I had no idea what to expect from the piece and how smooth the quality is. After watching the making of the video you can see that a lot of time and effort went into making sure that each of the various triangle shapes were positioned correctly and quickly. This was done to insure that the video disrupts the public for the least amount of time and keeps the quality of the video at its very highest. Its clear that a lot of dedication on the teams front made the video very smooth and enjoyable to watch.

Some really important factors the director had to consider while planning this shoot was the time of day and how long it will take to take the necessary amount of pictures for smooth quality. The location to insure that the public is not going to crowding around it and hindering the on site team in their efforts to get it done. 

Possibly the most important things to consider is the angle at which the camera is taking the images and weather. 

How they created this video was to very simply use a whole set of triangles the were designed to go from fully formed to almost a strip of green. this gives the effect, when strung together, of the triangles melting into the floor and then, when reversed, rising and rotating out of the ground.

From watching both how its made and the actual finished product I know that this is a very accomplished piece of animation and is worthy of being shown all over the world to aspiring stop motion animators and directors.
