Final Project Statement
For the final project I'm going to create a collage style animation using premier. Essentially I'm going to find a bunch of image files I can edit and give them all moving parts. The animation will be about American politics, specifically more current stuff like Covid and the past couple elections. The general idea is to have a person floating past all sorts of different weird abstracted imagery that I can create through photoshop. It will be kinda like a music video or a visualizer as I intend to have some form of sound track accompany it although I still haven't decided exactly what yet. I think my goal is to create sort of a caricature of America and really abstract and extenuate some of the recent hot button issues in the news. I'm not sure if there's going to be an overarching message that I'm trying to get at, I think I just want to draw attention to the absurdity of it all by making it even more over the top.
I'm making this my final project for both classes as I think it will implement a lot of what I've been working on over both courses (photoshop, abstraction, animation, editing in premier etc.)
Sounds good, Alex. Regarding formal project statement writing, think of the project as already complete so that you can write about it with confidence and in the present tense. It's interesting to consider, in light of you using the project for both classes, if someday the material is even stronger as a programed, randomized, looping, or web-based element as opposed to a closed-loop video. But that's something to consider down the line. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
