  Visually stunning is a way that we can certainly describe the animation in the Netflix show The Dragon Prince. So visually stunning in fact that it seems commonplace to immortalize the beauty of the show within such internet pop culture icons as the Gif. Most of my Gifs that I created portray stunning scenes from the show, but also the character Aaravos quite often. I find this particular character to have not only an interesting back story, but a beautiful design that is one to envy amongst character and concept designers.  The usage of the Gif in this case is meant to convey the awe and mysticism that the show presents. I am inspired by the action and luminosity of the animators. These Gifs are meant to represent that inspiration I find in such stunning and compelling images.

I want my message to focus on personal and somewhat of a social issue, based on how our society is run and the fast-paced movement of the world. My inspiration for this work was focused on the passage of time and how the world is constantly moving regardless of if you’re in motion yourself. The story behind this is how during this pandemic everyone is still trying to move on and continue living under these situations. I have some personal feelings related to this just because, during this pandemic, it's been an emotionally trying time but life continues on. I want viewers to see themselves in this piece and be able to relate to what we’re experiencing during these tough times. My overarching goal as an artist is to make people take a step back and see think twice about things and maybe even think a third time to analyze. There is never just one answer to anything, so finding multiple aspects of concepts is important to see. This work will tie into other work I created by pushing that once more that idea of how our society is so quick and fast-paced when it comes to living. It’s important to take a step back and realize that with or without you the world will always keep trying to press. Even in times like these.

I wanted to create a video that seemed one thing and then became another. I found this video, originally set to calming music, designed to bring down anxiety and tension. As I watched the original, I realized it was hypnotizing and relaxing. I decided to change the sound to change the mood of the piece from calm and relaxing, to tension building, even anxiety producing. I sped up the video when the music hits its crescendo to create this tension between the viewer and the video. 

Math is always appreciated in art but is considerably a strong way to build fractals, follow the golden ratio, and build proper linear perspective.
