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.
