For the Majority of the projection 3D elements are used all
of which are animated in one form or another. There is heavy use of basic 3D
shapes such as cubes, rectangles and cylinders. Other 3D models are found
including the fish and block men. All the objects have a clean plastic and no
great deal of detail was sculpted into the models. There was also a cameo using
Tetris blocks which is a neat idea to place in one’s projection. The example
below shows the use of cylinders to create a mesmerizing pattern as they rise
and fall back into the building.
To the end of the projection the 3d objects give way to some
line art which adorns the architecture of the building and an array of particle
effects. The most notable effect is the waterfall which flows from to the
bottom changing its path based on the architectural elements found on the
building.
The projection as a whole has a very colourful, upbeat feeling
and random to say the least, which keeps people viewing entertained and eager
to see what the next segment will bring. There aren’t any lessons, messages or
deeper meaning to other that the countdown which indicates that the New Year
has just commenced. As a side note the sound wasn’t that great but it didn’t
really have to be because it was based on the animation and the animation
didn’t really have high aesthetics to begin with. You can watch the full video

Notable Mentions:
A
collapsing effect, where the building folds in on itself creating a new space
for other elements.
These
Block Men Dance around but could this be and effective way of storytelling ?
With minimal design input on the character.
