Brainstorm Blog #3

I want to make my animation about going back to my childhood self. I'm not sure if I want to make the animation part about a specific memory in my childhood or about my childhood self going through life in general. I want to start with a shot of me looking at an old scrapbook of myself or online photo album. I might have kids laughing in the back as the audio over the old photos. After looking at the photos of me, I want a shot of me looking in the mirror, then some sort of transition into my younger self. I want the animation to show life through a purer, more joyful set of eyes. I want to have things that always made me happy, such as Barbies, family gatherings, and playgrounds, included in the animation of my younger self. I want the animation to end with a photo of me and my mom, then go to me and my mom in real life. The beginning of the video is going to have a more sad, gloomy mood. The end will have a more uplifting mood that reflects me being back in touch with my younger self. To enhance the narrative, I'm going to incorporate playful things, such as animated sparkles or whimsical audios, that embody the carefree spirit that we all used to have. This animation not only celebrates childhood but also encourages viewers to reconnect with their own inner child. I want people to feel warm and reconnected at the end. I hope to get my point across.
