Thinking about an outcome.


Right, I've been feeling that my project is a bit unfocused. I was trying to make my project about what I'm really interested in but I've realised I'm interested in far too much. This is because we've always been given themes before and I feel this was my first opportunity to pursue exactly what I wanted, how I wanted but it seems I've set the net too wide. But I'd like to think of it as a healthy variety; I have enough ideas and research for three outcomes.
But the aim is to have a final piece!
And that is hard for someone who makes lots of video samples, looping gifs and snippets rather than finished things.

Ok so- what do I want to come out with?
I need to make this piece with the limitations of our college show in mind. If I want to outcome with a video, which I probably do, then it will be shown on a TV screen on rotation with other student's videos.
If I want images, I need to print them off nice and big.
My Sketchbook needs to be flick-throughable.


Quick digital collage. I am imagining a video of me swimming, green screened over facebook/internet footage.
Ok so my final outcome piece is going to be a video. Videos usually should be under 5 minutes in length, otherwise audiences get bored or distracted.

What do I want in my video? Will it be one fluid video with continuity that develops or will it be a bit of a patchwork of shorter videos together like my last project with the spaghetti.
 - I don't have an answer for this yet but a single video can be dull.
I have multiple elements in this project; all my 3D modelling stuff, stuff about facebook, stuff about sci fi. I don't want to force it all together if it's unnatural but I reckon I can definitely pull together real camera footage of myself and others (+projections) and the 3D models that I have been making.

So I suppose this is now my challenge: Make a video along the lines of what I've already been making, over 1 minute, under 3 about humans and the internet.

is that still too vague? Hahaha.

I want some layering of video, using green screen/chroma/luma key, blending modes, projection and transitions to put myself or others 'into' the internet, to involve my 3D renders and create a 'lost down the rabbit hole' feeling.
