I would like to express my drawing and basic animation skills in this final project for Time-Based. My process for art is very technique driven with theme and overall meaning following second. But for this final assignment I want conceptual value to be just as important and equal to the process.
My first and probably definite idea contains small amounts of video and photograph stills, but a large amount of drawings for animation purposes. I want to explore time, space, and events after death but simplify it with a theme of Norse Mythology. My project will open with a video scene of a cloudy sky and then descend to a shot of a lonely grave site on an open field. The scene of the sky to the surface may transition through animation, but I am unsure. We then see a viking spirit rise from the grave and float back up to the sky which now portrays Valhalla (a majestic place in Asgard where warriors are believed to go to if they perish in battle). The spirit warrior then prepares for combat as he partakes in Ragnarok (series of events including battles with the gods, natural disasters, and eventual submersion of the world in water). I will simplify the entire trial by having the viking slay animated creatures in the company of the gods.
Our protagonist will emerge victorious but I am still figuring out how I want it to end as I do not want to drift from the conceptual part of the project. I want to present an adventure but I also want to emphasize the thought of another world or time completely unnoticed by the living. I am hoping the inclusion of ambient music with subtle fighting sounds and battle tunes will help viewers recognize the other worldly and spiritual quality of the project.
