Animation #2

My second film in this project is going to be based around the Buddhist theories of order and balance in the universe, as a contrast to the mathematical Fibonacci theory. Although they overlap in certain areas, I want my second film to be more like a celebration than a deconstruction of the universe. To acheive this I've been looking at mandala patterns and filming techniques that use natural processes to create beautiful images, such as inks seeping through water. This film is going to be more simplistic than my hand-drawn animation; it will just use symmetry and movement to produce balanced, and hopefully beautiful, visual representation of the ideas of cosmic forces.

I may also delve into the idea of chakras and healing forces, which will hopefully mirror my Fibonacci video and the idea of the sequence being present in the human form (Da Vinci's Vetruvian Man). I will try to time my videos so that they run simultaneously and reflect both sides of the same question about the divining powers of the universe: is it a purely mathematical structure or unknown karmic forces which keep the universe revolving?
