Concept for Final

Embrace your shadow and duplicity or go insane from stress.


This project is similar to my first project conceptually. I am trying to show the importance of acknowledging the shadow within or inner concscience. I see the shadow as the more instinctual and natural side of the psyche, and the outer concsience as the side most affected by modern society. In my narrative I plan to show the dual sides of a character and the consequences of suppressing his or her shadow.



The first scene will show the outer conscience worried about his or her appearance, and there will be several clocks on the wall symbolizing the impact of society. The second scene is the shadow surfacing and taking power. The third, is the shadow indulging in the guilty pleasures of life. Fourth, is the outer conscience killing the shadow as a symbol of repressing the inner conscience. The final scene will be the outer concsience zombified by the stresses of society.



I plan to photograph these locations again without the character in them and do handrawn animations on top of them in toon boom. I will do stop motion animation for the clocks. I will take the footage into AE for effects and camera movement.

The 3d Animation went well but although I am satisfied with my end result, I would like to experiment more with the 3d tools to get a better grasp on them.  I would like to use them to create 3d spaces in the future.

The experiment went pretty well, it opened up many new ideas and techniques to use on After Efftects.  I am excited to incorporate some of these effects in my own work.

My animation went well, I had some timing issues at first but I worked them out.  I am wondering if my background may be too dark but I want to get some feedback before I change it.

idea and storyboard

I plan on having two figures on a seesaw going up and down as a symbol of the power struggle between inner and outer consciences. There will be video of ink spills inside the figures, flowing in and out as they go up and down. The figure with the ink will be on the lower side of the seesaw as a representation of power over the other. In the background there will also be a lighter ink spill shaking and obulating by using the puppet tool. The movement of the background will remain hectic to further represent struggle. I want this to be played on a loop to show the never ending cycle.

My animation went well, I am pleased with the overall look. I took out the last scene because I felt it was more powerful ending with a bang. I am getting used to After Effects again, and I am also still learning new things about it.
