Proof of Concept
Transcript: -I had a specific song in mind which was central to my concept; a self-recorded version might prove to devalue this concept -Additionally, finding a group of people capable of playing the song and also willing to record could be a highly difficult task http://www.imagearts.ryerson.ca/ewood/cestlavie/ Solution To create a video that incorporated kinetic typography, video and photography elements, as well as self-recorded audio. Progress http://25.media.tumblr.com/70b66009e6d9f46cfb24df1f93a78d3b/tumblr_misxpq6bSj1qg3wdfo1_1280.png Down-Falls: Original Idea: Proof of Concept I decided to revise my project so as not to diminish the concept. I will now be creating a web-based interactive video in which users will have to click through and view the story of individual characters in order to get the "full picture." This full picture will manifest itself as my completed kinetic typography. Each time a character's profile is viewed, a corresponding section of the typography will be revealed. If no character profiles have been viewed, an instrumental version of the song will play along with different, lyricless version of the video. Sticking with the theme of suicide discussed in my initial proposal, this serves comment on how there are many underlying causes of suicide that are often overlooked until it is too late.
