Abstract
In this study, we develop a method for designing an emotional and creative motion that resonates with deep feelings. This study is based on the hypothesis that motion that is beyond ordinary human imagination can produce emotional impressions that resonate with deep feelings. The proposed method involves an analogy with natural objects, the blending of motions, and an emphasis on rhythmic features. In order to design an emotional and creative motion, we attempt to construct a computer system that implements the proposed method. An experiment to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and the validity of our hypothesis is performed. We compare the impressions produced by the motions that are created in three ways, with an emphasis on their rhythmic features.
