Project 3 - Artist Statement

For my daydream project I really wanted to focus my energy on having fun with the project and not take myself too seriously.

When the project was first assigned I became really excited with the vast amount of possibilities and creative liberties at my disposal. I soon realized that the complexities of all the programs I used, Photoshop, Premier Pro, and After Effects were far too high for me to create a clean, clear-cut video with all the fun crazy animations I wanted all within a reasonable amount of time.

That fact quickly overwhelmed me as I thought I would not make a good project because I had no idea what I was doing. This quickly sent me down a spiral and I felt I was in a rut. After having to step away from the project for a week, I came back to it and decided I was just gonna have some fun while learning the skills within each program.

My project is essentially a compilation of me exploring the wide variety of tools each software has to offer while simultaneously enjoying all the goofiness that came with my beginner skills. I think that is what makes art.
