Describe a challenge (or set of challenges) you faced in planning for your sequence.
My initial issue was knowing how to incorporate an animation with the bit of audio I got. The clause was a fast sort of sentence transition and was hard to work with. I had to keep forming ideas and scrap them because they would become to long or leer to far from the topic.
How did you meet the challenge?
I came to sort of a time sensitive and non-tasteful decision. I incorporated humor and use of old an corny magazines to make up for my part.
Describe your rationale for animating what you animated, and for using the method (stop frame vs cut paper vs handdrawn vs rotoscope etc) you chose.
I used magazine clippings to make my short animation. I wanted to go further and do some sort of rotoscope animation, but this objective was time sensitive. My idea might seem random, but I put some thought into it. I used things that I remember were around when I was 10 years old (audio clip mentions being a kid at the age of 10). I used a clipping of Spongebob, Patrick, and George Bush in David Hasselhoff's hand. I clearly remember the show Spongebob Squarepants starting when I was ten and that Bush was president at the time. It is truly random, but it sufficed.
What was the best part of the project? The worst?
I believe the best part was the mixture of creative minds that compiled the animations to go to the audio log. Using people to make parts of a film is sort of disorganized, but can look beautiful at times. The worst thing I think is the way some animations were made. Whether they were off topic or just choppy. I feel responsible for being apart of the crowd that might of made the anecdote leer from sheer greatness.
