Presto Agitato, Until We All Vanished
CHOI Yeol-eum 2025 0:02:37 3D ComputerPresto Agitato – Named after the term meaning "very fast," this animation follows insects hurriedly fleeing and disappearing across a musical score. It tragically portrays the cause of the mass extinction of insects and the resulting destruction of the ecosystem, unfolding alongside the grand and dramatic music of Beethoven. The rapidly changing nature and the tragic fate of disappearing life forms are vividly and powerfully depicted. A standout technical feature of this work is the implementation of visuals resembling clay animation and motion akin to stop-motion animation, achieved through 3D animation. To accomplish this, the latest version of Blender (4.3) was quickly mastered, and Grease Pencil tool was utilized to create materials with a unique shader that mimics the appearance of clay. Additionally, the insect designs were inspired by the shapes of musical notes on actual sheet music. This approach resulted in diverse and vibrant character designs. The music was then rearranged, considering the appearance and physical characteristics of each insect, ensuring harmony between their design and movements.
