Idea: My mini-thesis this semester is about dreams. It all started with the weird dreams that I have all the time and how I was intrigued. The it developed for an application where people can share their dreams. Anyway, I thought about making a teaser for it using my dreams. My dreams are divided into four groups: the world of the sand, snow, water and city. It would be like a fast travel in all of them, starting on the room and ending also on it. Ok, but as I started to make the style frames, I realized that this is going to be much harder than I imagined (as always). I may have two solutions then: try with draws instead of photos or make the Reef.

Storyboard:

Draft Style frames:

1) The world of sand and warmness

2) The world of snow and coldness

Audio:

This one is my favorite, but I decided to add the other in anyway, because I guess the subjects match.

Elephant Gun – Beirut

Welcome to Mystery – Plain White T

Goal: choose a logo and apply it to the van, making a track motion so it can look like is part of the environment.

I animated the lyrics for the first part of this brazilian song:

Quotes:

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. (Oscar Wilde)

There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. (Oscar Wilde)

There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun. (Pablo Picasso)

We all know that art is not the truth, art is a lie that makes us realize the truth. (Pablo Picasso)

Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world. (Fernando Pessoa)

Every day things happen in the world that cannot be explained by any law of things we know. Every day they’re mentioned and forgotten, and the same mystery that brought them takes them away, transforming their secret into oblivion. Such is the law by which things that can’t be explained must be forgotten. The visible world goes on as usual in the broad daylight. Otherness watches us from the shadows (Fernando Pessoa)

For I am the size of what I see / not my height’s size. (Fernando Pessoa)

What’s most worthless about dreams is that everybody has them. (Fernando Pessoa)

What is art but the denial of life? (Fernando Pessoa)
