Final Project Outline/Storyboard - Nex
I want my video to be about mental health awareness. I struggled with mental illness my whole life, not only through my own experiences but my family as well. I want to do a half-live half-animated piece. I want the animation to be intentionally messy with loose lines and little color. I want it to be almost jerky-like stop motion and the shots would change between the live and animated.
I would use my camera and tripod for the filming but I would also use the Procreate app to draw my animations. The structure is linear despite switching between two mediums. It's very narrative, the story of getting worse and getting better, but the shots themselves would be more abstract. I want some of the animation to be almost traced so that it can switch between the same shot in different mediums.
Mental health is really important to me and I live in a house where every single one of us has been hospitalized individually. I want to be able to communicate the lack of control that you feel when your own brain starts spiraling on you and the weird almost nostalgic feeling that comes when you start feeling better.
Below I attached some ideas for shots that I sketched.
I'm so excited to see how this is going, Nex, thanks for sharing so much info. Such an important topic, and the materials and non-linear methods that you're considering using will make the already-narrative driven concept complex and memorable in the mind of the viewer. As you use such diverse visual languages in your images (live-action; abstraction; animation) consider each of their roles in the overall structure—how they each play off of each other, and what continuous versus discontinuous implications their roles have on the psychology of the viewer.
