"Sea Dweller: An Animated Short"
This final assignment will touch the areas of animation and video techniques introduced throughout this course that I have not yet displayed in my past projects. Techniques such as outdoor filming, rotoscoping and utilizing luma and alpha mattes to key out layered video. This nautical sequence will include live footage from a beach setting featuring a wooden dollhouse near the shore. I will use still images to manipulate the interior appearance of the miniature dwelling. The time of place is early morning where the viewer will be greeted by a disguised character engaging in a daily routine. The visuals will be accompanied by a song that follows the tempo of the animation. I chose the track "Fix It" from Grizzly Bear's 1994 Horn of Plenty album for its ambient vocals and distorted strings. I feel that it will fit really well with the piece. The scenes depicting breakfast and daily hygiene will lead up to the climax of the video and reveal of the true beach hermit living at the sea.
