Considering I only have 18 days to complete my blog and all my digital media work, I’m slightly worried about it all to be perfect honest.

I keep finding myself changing my mind, on one of the previous blogs I mentioned about using the freeze frame method of my work. But after finding out you don’t actually have to me in the video or speak, my whole Idea changed again. I may still be in it video but not fully and will still use my voice but place a voice recording over the top, that way I don’t have to sit for a whole minute and speak it all at once.

I was thinking about using the top of my head from the bridge of my nose up with background and when talking have little animations pop out my head which will be explained when taking. Im still thinking about whether to use the timeline or just jump straight in to the key points in my life and show the animations.

 

This is a rough idea, I took a photo of my head and added little images that will be used in a similar way for the animations popping out my head as I talk.

I m hoping to record myself just sat on a chair with a plain background so that what is behind me will be changed anyway with the projection mapping. But when recording myself Im hoping to have a rough script so that If a friend reads it out and an animation comes out my head I will have my eyes or eyebrows move, just so that the video file of myself is not just a still video.

Creating my 1 minute me seems easy at first because the idea of just throwing some animations and visual effects in a video with me talking about myself sounds really easy. But when you start to try and think of an idea you then realise what you have to do, Ideas end up changing a lot because you think about what you are capable of and although I’m going to push myself to areas of after effects and other software I’ve not used but thats the whole experience.

The basic idea I have is to have my head in the video moving my eye brows and eyes slightly to go with what my script will say making recording my face and voice separately to make it easier. In the video I will have my logo which is circles and my initials inside the circles, I may even make it transparent to sit in the corner of the video. The when talking little animations which will relate to my script and my life, for example mentioning being born and having a stork image float out my head and move slightly and another example is talking about my interests such as photography and design. The augmented reality and projection mapping as the background, I need to find a location that is relevant to me. Ive been thinking about this rather a lot and not particularly sure what to use as my main background? At first I thought about having a beautiful field in the country side where I live but then I felt like this was not interesting enough for me. I need to think in to the background a little more, the last one is visual effects. Then to end it all I need to create a pdf that is styled to match my personal branding, I feel like with my pdf I want to create something interactive and to have my pdf fun and happy.
