Week 2 Outside of Class: Dreamscape

Using one of the dreams I mentioned last week, I made a sort of dreamscape using After Effects.  The goal was to recreate the feeling of that dream using singular words, combined with textures & abstract imagery.

The premise of my dream was that I was in a dark, empty house looking for something. I go up the stairs, there is a light, & then an open room.  While sifting around, I discover some old portraits, one with a face, & suddenly I have an epiphany (of what I'm not too sure).  Somehow I realize I've been detected & that whoever is looking for me is hot on my trail.  I take off & hide in another small room upstairs.

Here is the final product...

Right now it feels not unlike a Powerpoint presentation.  I hope as I learn more about the program, I'll be able to make a more dynamic video.   I may do some tweaks, doing more with typography & using jerks & movement, really just emoting more through actual motion rather than just through words & images.
