Music Video Final Kaley Rohanna

This video was created by combining different videos that I didn’t originally intend to go together. I used claymation, stop motion, and sprite animation to interact with the old videos. By recreating some of the dances in stop motion, it appeared that the animations were dancing with the people in the live video. I put the claymation behind green paper and added it in as a green screen effect. For some of the shots, there was more light on the paper, making the effect stronger. To do this, I projected light through a paper towel roll, creating a spotlight on the clay people.

The claymation and music created a bizarre experience, making the video seem like a weird fever dream about myself. Self reflectance can be a trippy experience and if my life were to flash before my eyes, this is what I think it would feel like.

“Who am I?”

I believe my video, a combination of stop motion animation and performance/video, is the perfect visualization of a self-portrait of me. I find it very difficult to pick one experience that I have had that “makes me who I am.” This video represents how every experience I’ve gone through has shaped the person I am today. But, I know there’s still so much more to experience, so many people to meet, and a lot of growing left to do. These future experiences will continue to form new versions of myself. At the same time, I often struggle with the idea of truly “knowing who you are,” because I don’t believe there’s just one fixed version of me. I’m a completely different person than I was two years ago, or even compared to who I was just a month ago. This video captures the idea that I am who I am because of every experience I’ve had, every person in my life, my physical being, and everything that exists inside my head and heart. But when someone asks me, “Who are you?” I still struggle to find the words to fully explain who I am.

Final Film: Stress of Perfection

Stress of PerfectionDownload

Following the guidelines:

The different ways my film was able to follow the guidelines was, first, through the way I was able to incorporate stop motions scenes throughout the film. On this film I was able to use up to 5 frames per second of stop motion. Secondly, this past semester we had learned about film and how there can be obstructions on the different ways of how to make a film. An example of this, is seen in my film, Stress of Perfection, through the theme of one’s difficult strive for perfection being portrayed by the usage of different and unique individual pieces of film.
