hello

it’s too much

This is my submission for Project 2. I wanted to create a film intro that would produce films that were dark and mysterious, maybe even horror movies. My inspiration for this was  Blumhouse’s opening animation. I think that for the most part this is how I wanted it to look. If I were to change anything, I would possibly make the electricity animations a little more intricate and then maybe try a more dramatic lighting. Personally, I really like how the sound designed turned out. 

This project is an exploration of nostalgia and our relationship with time and memory. I chose the two figures to represent life and death, a key component for a humans understanding of the passage of time. The text reads: “In Your Head, Out of Your Control”. The two terms in and out are important to me because it represents a beginning and an end and, given the context of the phrase, it all exists within our own perception and memory.

Eva Papamargariti is a GIF artist that created landscapes out of fluid renderings of 3D objects. She also create films, images, collages, and a lot of different forms of media. Originating on tumblr she has now graduated on to showing her works around the world, including her gif art. The creation of a location that doesn’t exist is compelling and evocates a sense of longing towards this area. It’s an intimate way to view the landscapes that are pure imagination and originating within someone else’s mind. Memory play and nostalgia are evoked from her work, as the viewer is forced to piece together the textures, colors, and other factors that seem simultaneously familiar yet foreign.
