Nokta . (Dot .) is an abstract short film project which is an improvisation of organic pieces and themes like power, control and luck. Using low-budget equipment and with the combination of actual camera shooting, 2d and 3d animation techniques, the film alters the reality and physics of the real world with the help of the liquid and dynamic simulations’ impact.

Even though the film is not produced according to the base of Amos Funkenstein’s text on harmony, but the text is a convenient statement for the stylistic and representational behaviour of the film.

'I see some correspondence between the foundation of universal harmony on elliptical orbit and the predilection for the elliptic forms in Baroque architecture. In both cases harmony is still defined as unity within multiplicity, but it ceased to be static, namely, harmony expressed in one ideal geometrical form, and became so to speak dynamic. What was previously regarded as the deviation from the ideal form, was comprehended for the first time as an integral part of the form, or form of forms, which are capable of endless transitions one into another. ' [Amos Funkenstein, The Dialectical Preparation of Scientific Revolutions. On the Role of Hypothetical Reasoning in the Emergence of Copernican Astronomy and Galilean Mechanics.]

    Amazing sound design! Im interested in knowing how did you make all those sound fx? Did you record them yourself? Stock?

    Thanks!
  • ECHOLAB plus 1 year ago
    Thx! All sounds are custom, I'm always recording new interesting sounds to manipulate - like high frequencies from rubbing a wine glass + wet finger, then processed! some begin with stock (tonal or movement stuff mainly) which are then processed/edited/layered etc. check this - vimeo.com/7639133

    Through this abstract video you managed to transmit a powerful feeling to the viewer. I would normally assume it would be attributed to the awesome sounds, but this was not the case, the movement and visual language was equal in strength. Amazing work and deserved of all the praise!

    Great work! Oddly enough... I couldn't help thinking "oh my gawd what if this was some kind of alien" It actually kinda creep'd me out. To me, that means you succeeded, even if that was not your intended subject... did that make sense?
