My final artwork is a short film of my roommate discussing with her inner consciousness. I chose the character Kuromi because I think she resembles the vibes I get from my roommate. A super cute character with a sort of an evil energy with her. Anyway, I honestly really struggled with this project. Animating things is no joke. I am not the best at doing things on a screen/digitally; therefore, I was getting super frustrated throughout this whole process. But, once I finally got the hang of things, this was super duper fun. I wish we had a little more time during the beginning of this project. I think having us as a class bounce ideas off of each other as well as messing around on the animation could have greatly improved the work of myself and the class as a whole! I feel like things were going at a super fast pace for me when we were first introduced to the project, so I didn’t really have enough time to think of something really up to my potential. Either way though, I was pretty happy with my final product and think I communicated well about my idea. Nicole experiences an awakening spiritually and physically that she needs to get her life together. I think college life has an expected stigma of sex, money, and drugs. And in this piece, I showed the alcoholic perspective of it. Binge drinking is a problem and actually, 27% of full-time college students can confirm binge drinking in the previous month. This is an unhealthy activity that I actually care about! I don’t want my friends to get hurt and also want to promote safe drinking. Therefore that is why I did a piece on alcoholism and why Nicole (my one actor) wakes up with bottles surrounding her. Next time, I would just try to find more time on the project and tap into my creativity way more. I am sad because I think I could have done phenomenal work but struggled with my time management.
