Obviously, as a Motion Designer, I wanna create something that moves.
Just how I'm not sure yet, but I do know it can't be just a standard, linear animation. I want it to stand out and be noticed in the hope that drawing attention in a creative sense will help divert it to the cause in need.
I know very well that this can happen, grabbing someone's eye and inciting them with creativity, informing them about a topic they didn't even know about, and by the end make them care about it. I know this, because it happened to me.
When all the KONY hysteria hit last year, I'll be the first to admit I was drawn into it. I'd never even heard the name before, but by the end of the incredible video I watched, I'd started to care about something I was previously oblivious too, and even went so far as to donate to the cause it represented.
If I could create something that even one person noticed and became aware of, maybe even donating in some form or even just spreading the word as a result, then the time spent making it would be worth it.
So what to create?
Well I'm thinking along the lines of live art, something that breaks the norm and stands out for being different. It is my intent to research different forms of live art to see what kind of forms are achievable and draw inspiration and influence from them.
In terms of what I want my work to say, I want it to reflect the story and emotions of the very thing it represents, namely hope, freedom, danger and desperation. I plan on checking out different sources of information in order to feed this message, taking bites from different areas in order to form some sort of story or narrative on which to base my piece.
Once my research grows and grows, hopefully ideas will start to form and my project will begin to take shape.
