First Project: Stop Motion Animation

So today I came up with a few ideas for the first project. I tend to come up with morals to go along with my work before I come up with an actual idea or execution to the project. So here they are, let me know what you think or how I can make it better. Try to imagine the concept visually, because I only have text for you to refer to for now.

  1. Technology relies on us just as much as we rely on technology.
  • A girl is on the computer the whole day (camera view from behind her, looking over her shoulder at computer. clock changes as time goes by). Girl gets off of computer and goes to bed, closing the computer (not turning it off). After a couple of minutes, computer opens slightly turning its light back on. Computer tries to wake up the girl so she can "play" again. The computer nudges and cuddles up to the girl. Finally, girl wakes up and places computer back on desk. This goes back and forth till the girl locks the computer to the desk. Computer is sad. Girl is tossing and turning and cant sleep knowing the computer is sad. Girl gets up and kisses computer goodnight. Lights out (blank black screen). Goes to credits. END
2. Sometimes thinking too hard into something gets you nowhere; its better to let it (the paint) do its thing.

  • A girl is painting a mural, but seems stressed and unfocused. It gets late and she starts to give up and leaves the room (the camera is then left to be focused on the mural). All of a sudden, paint chips start to come off of the mural and collect together on the floor. The girl walks in surprised to find that the paint chips seem to have a life of their own. The chips approach the girl, the girl is hesitant at first but then welcoming. The chips make their way up the body of the girl, and then to her hand, engulfing it. The girl is somewhat lead over to the mural by the paint chips on her hand. The paint chips then start to guide her hand to make a master piece (camera angle shifts to girl standing back then smiling). Blank black screen then credits. END
