Final Project

For my final project I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to do something I have never done before and push myself, which is why I chose to do a stop motion video. I have never done a video before besides the storm trooper stop motion. But one with a narrative that is emotional and has people in it is like a whole new universe to me! I chose this idea for the video because one of my greatest fears is losing the people I love. For me, I am constantly worried I will lose someone and have nightmares about it as well and I wanted to convey this story of a girl losing her loved one in the video. I wanted to utilize scenes that others can relate to. Scenes that most couples and relationships go through and they people can connect with the emotion of love. I wanted the scenes to be playful in that sense but also reflect how much he means to her and reflect her confusion in the dream of not knowing whether he is there or not and that she keeps looking for him.
I hope that my ideas were conveyed in my video. I am still learning about videos. I do wish that I would have had a bit more time to work on it just because it is a deep concept and long video that it has taken a lot to do. If I had more time I may have been able to shoot the scenes a couple of different ways to see what worked but the time crunch limited me. I also am excited to try to make a new story and new video now that I have my first one under the belt. I learned a lot about editing and how different types of shooting will help in the end with editing and putting it together. It was definitely a learning process and I am still learning. I enjoyed making the video and putting my ideas into a new medium of art. It pushed me personally and artistically and am excited to try more!
