The CG director reminisces back to one of his memorable times and says, “I remember putting a lot of effort into the first episode where Cho Rim opens her eyes in the hospital and various smells are coming from the medicines and flowers. Thanks to the computer graphics team maintaining an interesting yet not too overpowering tone of the character’s special ability, it enables this drama to be categorized as a romantic-comedy and not as a fantasy drama. “There’s a second team, called the FX team, in charge of making the smell particles actually move after the MatchMoving process, and then a third team in charge of putting the smell particles and the actual footage together.Ĭho Rim is able to see these smells because of a malfunction of her senses, not because she has superpowers. First, the team in charge of the step called MatchMove, a process where you transform the video into a 3-D design, transfers the clip that involves the smell CG to the computer and matches the smell particles with the camera.” The director tells, “There are three teams involved in creating this smell CG. SBS‘s Special Effects Director Lee Joon Suk revealed the secrets to the computer graphics in this drama, created with the help of over 30 professional designers.

These correspondences are surprising just like synaesthesia is, but they are different in that most people within a culture, and who knows perhaps between, share the same correspondences. ‘However, I believe we all experience these surprising connections that I call crossmodal correspondences. You either have these idiosyncratic, automatic, conscious concurrents or you don’t. ‘That said, synaesthesia proper is more of an all-or-none condition.

Her unique abilities allow her to design scents for companies and she is the nose behind fragrances for Lady Gaga, Adidas, American Express, Mercedes Benz and many more. ![]() While Philippa interprets sounds to form her artworks, fellow synaesthete Dawn Goldworm has found practical uses for her extraordinary talents.ĭawn, remarkably, has the ability to both see and touch smells – something she uses on a day-to-day basis as an internationally-renowned olfactive expert. ‘That’s kind of the level of ordinariness that synaesthesia has for me.’ It didn’t and doesn’t feel special, which is probably why I didn’t feel the need to ever talk about it… we don’t all sit around saying how great it is to have fingers do we? ‘And then I heard a programme on Radio 4 which talked about it and I realised that how I viewed the world was with synaesthesia. ‘I was convinced they were just brushing it off, as I can’t believe – and still can’t – that there isn’t something else going on inside people’s heads apart from words which describe things or which focus our thoughts.
