Final Project Idea - Vanessa

 

For my final project I want to continue experimenting with Adobe Premier and Photoshop. My idea is to illustrate a progression of flight from a butterfly, or other flying living being, to an airplane, to a spaceship. The sequence will end on the surface of Mars. The tone I want to portray is light, airy and optimistic at the beginning. The middle will have more gravity as it might present the effects fossil fuels have on life. The use of fossil fuels will be represented by the plane and the spaceship. I envision to end the project in an optimistic note, although ion the surface of another planet.

I want to start my exploration of animation of still images using Premier. I will use several sources, including my own photos and photos downloaded from the Internet. I will only use some elements extracted from most photos, and only two or three photos as backgrounds. At the moment I do not envision using sound, but I am open to using it if it fits my video and I find something appropriate that will support the project’s concept. If I use it, it will be sparsely, maybe to represent the sound of a plane or a rocket. One of my source photos was taken by a NASA Mars explorers on the surface of Mars. Other than maybe two of the background photos, I will manipulate all of them to create the story.
