Surreal Animation Project
Due Tuesday, April 20 by 11:59 p.m.
This project explores a creative, collaborative technique popularized by the Surrealist called the Exquisite Corpse. For this project you will be given an object that must appear in your video at some point for at least one second. Your video must start with a white screen and end with a white screen. Using animation, you will reinterpret what we see daily and raise questions about how we perceive our world and create something surreal.
Guidelines:
- Choose a daily action or normal scenario and create a subversive context that challenges our traditional notions of that action or scenario. For example, if you choose the action “to eat”, create an animation that deals with the action of “eating” but deconstructs expectations of where we usually eat or what we eat.
- Using all the tools we have learned so far, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, you will create a surreal animation.
- You must start with a white screen, end with a white screen, and at some point, have the required image appear in the video for at least 1 second.
- Download required image here. You may use all of the image or only part of it. You may even edit the image (like change the color).
- The total length of your animation should be 12 seconds or longer (1 sec white at the start, 10 sec surreal, 1 sec white at the end).
- The animation should use a composition of HDTV 1080 29.97 and should use raster (Photoshop) and vector (Illustrator) based imagery. Render your final animation as H.264 HDTV 1080 29.97fps.
- Upload your rendered movie and AEP files to this assignment thread.
