I have been super busy lately working on some pretty sweet stuff.

The first project I am working on is animating a childhood nightmare. I started out telling the story of what happened in the dream but I am shying away from that; I’m more interested in recreating the feeling of fear and anxiety. I asked twitter what scared them, what made them fearful, some of the responses included:

helplessness, terminal illness, being covered in insects, Buried alive. By zombies, implied horror, driving over drawbridges, seeing the ground rushing up at you through the window of an airplane (descending in an airplane

The nightmare starts out with my dad and I going to his friend Bob’s house, we walk up to the door and go inside, Bob says I can hang my coat in the closet, but I’m not wearing a coat, I go to the closet anyway and open it there are skeletons hanging from coat hangers and I panic and woke up. It was a reoccurring nightmare, and I was terrified of it when I was younger.

The second project I am working on at the moment is “the commute,” what does it mean to me and to other people. For me it is mostly chaotic, I am not a morning person at all and I want to see what it is like for everyone else. I really like typography and I think I am going to construct some people on a train out of these words that you guys have come up with, they include:

stoned, Stressful, hellish, long, slow, Long (60 miles each way), Boring (No radio), Hot (No A/C), and Unpredictable (Unreliable car continues to brakedown on route), traffic, busy, morning, rush hour, car, coffee, heavenly, monotonous, rural, picturesque, wasteful, expensive, relaxing

I may also make some sort of layered word cloud, I don’t know yet, we will see.

I will keep you posted with some pictures and other things soon. :) thank you muchly for your help!
