Brainstorm Blog #3

This project is titled Daydream Video Project. The prompt is to create a “real life” scene in which we cut to an animated “daydream” scene. The sequence can be as creative as you please, and should focus on animation. For my project, I believe I will be filming myself daydreaming while doing homework/at work/etc. I want it to feel fun and whimsical, and shine light on the daydream feeling that many college students know all too well. My thought is that I will start with a shot of me doing some sort of mundane activity (whether that be school, work, sleep, I am not sure yet…), and then I will que to a “doze off” feeling. Following this, I want to animate myself taking a stroll through a sort of whimsical world with a character there to keep my company. Here, we will discuss how hard work/rest pays off. This era of life is so short, as they all are, and it is important to keep your dreams in mind as you work towards them. Hard work does not go unnoticed and hard work pays off is the kind of message I want my audience to receive from my project. I think I will try to incorporate my own hand-drawn animation, but will also benefit from found images. When I come back from the daydream, I will have a newfound respect for myself and my hard work! This should be a fun project, and I look forward to the learning process.
