Case study: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival

The format of a handscroll allows for the depiction of a continuous narrative or journey: the viewing of a handscroll is a progression through time and space. The experience of seeing a scroll for the first time is like a revelation. As one unrolls the scroll, one has no idea what is coming next: each section presents a new surprise.

The idea of the exhibition is to create 5 little interactive animations displayed on 3 different screens. Each team selected a chinese story and illustrates it through 3 linked screens (3 computers in network).

The team realisations should include at least:

- looped Animated background

- Layer of Animated character

- Animated Foreground

- Text Layer

A pen tablet will be used to play and spread the animation into the 3 screens, like 3 little timelines.

Very simple touch interaction:A Pen/Touch Tablet is split into 3 zones. Every zone activate animation in one of the screen.
