The document discusses how clouds affect the environment both physically and in fiction. It proposes an art installation using balloons to represent clouds and project digital cloud simulations onto them. This would allow viewers to experience clouds in a fixed indoor space. Different lighting and color projections could be used to depict clouds in different genres, such as red for danger in gothic stories or blue for tranquility in romantic poems. The goal is to combine digital art with physical installations so viewers can see clouds changing shape over time in new ways.

in fiction vs non-fiction media texts?
The Research
Question- Mentally? Emotionally? Physically?
- What kind of Environment?
- 3D Digital Clouds painted in Maya
- Both still images and Videos
PROS:
- Minimal Aesthetics
- Explored colour themes of the clouds in the sky
and in environment spaces to suit a specific
genre
- Experimented with Maya Fluids
CONS:
- Visuals became repetitive and dull
- Want to add installation piece to create a
surreal effect to the viewers
- Clouds installation; balloons forming the shape of the
Cumulus clouds
- Positioning an aspect from the outer atmosphere (cloud)
within a fixed indoor environment (studio space)
- Projecting colours through spotlights or screen and
mapped projections of the clouds made with Maya Fluids
- The colours depicts the mood within a genre e.g. Gothic
Literature uses Red to symbolise blood, fire, danger and
intensity, Romantic Poets mention BLUE sea and sky
illustrate the power of nature as powerful as well as calm,
peace, tranquillity
WHY?
As actual clouds disappear and change shape overtime, I
wanted to combine digital art with installations so the viewer
can experience the view of clouds in a fixed environment.

3. Initial Idea

6. Developing that Idea…

8. Complete version of how the small balloons will look, with 12
inch plain and pearl balloons forming the shape of a Cumulus
cloud

11. Using stage lights + lighting colour filters/ gel
to be lit towards the balloons

12. Complete version of another style of the balloon installation,
with 3 different types; 12 inch plain and pearl white, with 3
foot approx. balloon in centre

15. Projecting the Maya Fluids onto the balloons
with blue clouds

16. Projecting the Maya Fluids onto the balloons
with pink clouds
