ARTS4126: Brainstorm Blog #2: Blender

I don't really know yet what I will be doing for this project, but I do know that most TikTok filters are a combination of either using a human face and adding 3D elements or just using 3D elements to cover the face entirely. The videos on the website showcase a lot of interactivity between the person and the filter. Some of them feature some animations / movement and some of them feature a body movement that has to happen in order for the filter to appear. It would be fun to incorporate a combination of using a body movement to activate the filter while the filter also has animations that go along with it. As far as the theme I would like to do, I am thinking about some kind underwater scene with a variety of animals. It could be fun to have a body movement show a different animal depending on the body movement you do. I am not sure if it would be more fun to make something comical or to make something aesthetically pleasing since most of the effects shown on Effect House are supposed to be funny or make you look different in a funny way. I would love to make some kind of detailed nature scene that includes at least 2-3 different animals. Otherwise, my other idea is some kind of interactive flowy light effect that is just supposed to look aesthetically pleasing. The body movement could perhaps change colors or change the way the movement works. (I still don't exactly know how Effect House works, so I don't know if this is possible.)
