I am very excited for this project, I have been working proficiently with After Effects for my animation class and I am very familiar with the software. My plan is to resemble an experience I have been having every once in a while when I am reminded of a trip/hallucination I had last summer. I had a life changing experience that day and every once in a while I look at something a little too hard and it brings me back to that state. I want to start my video off with me sitting outside, recognizing a familiar object or landscape that reminds me of what I saw during that time. When the realization kicks in, it will switch to animation. I will do my absolute best to replicate what it felt/looked like at the time. Then I will snap out of it and move on with my day. Later on, I will see another image that brings me back to a dream-like world that is similar to that time. I want to show the beauty that arises during that kind of experience but also the effects it can have on your mind when you get deja vu. I think it could be cool to experiment with incorporating my own drawings into the animation, whether through illustrator or a scan. I want to make the alternate reality as wonky and close to my memory as possible, I think the effects offered in After Effects will help me accomplish that easily.
