Make The Thunder_CC Lab Midterm Project


Concept

When thinking about some extreme ways to show our mood, I got inspired by the movie X-men. Storm, a girl who can control the weather in the movie, is one of my favorite characters. It reminds me that weather is one of the critical factors that influence our daily mood. What if I create something that realize the scene in the fiction movie?

Initially, my concept is to make a tiny weather model with clouds and the sun inside. Audience are able to generate different weather conditions using their facial expressions. When no one is interacting with the model, it will show current weather based on the day time.
