Inititation

Back in January, we were told to start thinking about our graduate project. Our graduate project is one of the major projects we will complete in Digital Design. We have full reign over what it is and how to execute it.

We began by thinking of our strengths, skills, qualities, interests, goals and what we want in a career. I knew I had strengths as a problem solver, coming up with big ideas, aesthetics (which always needs improvement), technical and leadership skills. I am interested in motion, live action, visual graphics, branding, music, design, group environments and tactile projects. My goals were to enhance technical and aesthetic skills, produce, make people happy, entertain people and just to have fun.

So, I began by thinking of some ideas. I thought about making a branding/motion commercial, but I didn't really grasp onto that idea. I knew I wanted to have tactile elements, musical elements, a strong concept and something that I could implement a strong production management aspect to it.

After meeting with our Head of Department, he told me about his experience as a student and what he had done for his final project. I guess you could say that he was the first inspiration I had for the core of my graduate project.

I had the skeleton. I knew I wanted to produce and develop creatively three motion pieces, but I wasn't sure what it was going to be about or what kind of motion it was going to be...
