Self Portrait Project - The Beginning

The lectures I have had on this project really opened my mind as to what I could include. I started to create lists and also what I would like the video to be like. 

I wanted to think about the plan of which I wanted my thoughts to be in: 

-Think about what makes me

-The main areas of focus about me

-The process and how I'm going to bring these thoughts to life, and how I'm going to create the piece.

Firstly, I created a list on what I think truly makes me... me.

I thought about things such as height and what I wear, but I don't feel like that is as important to me, because I myself don't see myself as tall.

The list instead consisted of these aspects: 

-The music I listen to

-The music I play

-The games I play, or past-times in general

-The way I talk and think

-Some pet peeves I have.

I also decided that the first few animation techniques I will try will be stop-motion of a person doing an action, and sand animations. I also wanted to use chalk animation on paper because it is something that I have very much enjoyed doing and have done since my A Levels.

I have created a storyboard including each idea I have had.

            

The storyboard is very rough but it covers everything I mentioned, so I will be trying to create an animatic soon.
