After The Journey

Im still alive, the fear of me getting on the bus on christmas eve was taken over mainly by the feeling of ultimately being with my family. 

Most of the day I was worrying and looking at the time worrying that the moment I had to get on the bus was getting closer and closer, but every now and then my thoughts became clear and I could think rationally, which is a hard thing to do when your mind gets full of negative thoughts. 

As I waited for the bus, I could feel myself wanting to run away from the stop, but I stayed and got on the bus.

The journey was a mixture, there were sometimes my mind was feeling positive and that I could do this, and other times where I felt I needed to be off the bus (I want to represent these changing emotions with light as I said before) but I managed to do it and spend christmas with my father.

Thinking about what else I  want to do visually to my animation, I want to create the feeling of movement obviously to represent the journey but at the same time I want to reflect my personal side to the movement.

I want to use colour, movement and music to make the viewer feel as uncomfortable as I do on a bus.

I have gotten some footage from outside the bus window on my trip and also a few clips of the reflection of myself sitting on the bus, if I can experiment with after effects and use these two pieces of footage creatively I can expand my animation tests to become a very interesting but abstract piece.

Happy New Year
