Generative Narrative

Generative Narrative Project


This projects goal was to create a unpredictable narrative structure using generative art techniques. In a desire to increase fascination and suspense for repeat viewers of the work.

The Idea simplified was to incorporate controlled random code to achieve
unpredictable outcomes.

The workflow involved creating animation loops in Maya, then exporting image sequences which were then controlled using a program written in Openframeworks.

The final product is a program which you watch like a movie, every time you watch it will be a different experience. Please contact me if you would like a copy of the program, but to illustrate the concept I ran the program three times, then combined the results into a single movie, so its best if you simply watch it :-)

Scene 1.
Scene 2.
Scene 3.
Scene 4.
The recording was only done for scene one, as you can see above there are three more scenes which the program runs through, randomly!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
