For our final project, I got three topics: story-telling, collage and video editing.
I happened to see a video by artist Steve Cutts on Instagram a couple weeks ago. He created a video shows a world where technology dominates everybody's daily life, that no one cares about the happenings around them anymore. What I found the most interesting is that at the beginning of this video, a girl doesn't like her date and she just swipes left onto a roll of other guys, like how we often do on our phone, till she sees the one she likes. I think there's lots of implications in this scenario, and a whole new story based on this girl and her date could be developed.
I want to create a short stop motion animation with collage to articulate a new story base off this scene. The script I came up with is: a girl wakes up with a blank face and body, she goes onto her phone and starts to pick her look for the date she's about to go to that night. So she starts her "swiping" on the phone to choose from different options for her face, makeup, her body type, the clothes and accessories. I want to incorporate some funny elements into that process and emphasis how "swiping" dominates her life on every single aspect. Then the ending of this story will echo with the date night scene from my inspiration video in a different perspective.
