Color Animation

I created this piece by drawing on a chalk board. I really like the idea of shifting a piece rather than recreate or redraw an image multiple times. So I just added or subtracted from the same board to create my changing images. I added the background in first just to set the scene. That part was the easy part. When it came time for me to add in the little people it was a little more challenging to get them to be moving the way I wanted them to. The only problem I had with the materials themselves was that sometimes a build up of chalk on the board would move and cause a black spot on the board. This was an issue because I didn't want to take any chalk off the board because I wanted a shift in the drawing not recreating it. The chalk build up eventually shifted the color a little bit, but I don't think it took away from the imaging. If anything, I think it added to the overall imaging. For me, I think this video just shows that sometimes things aren't always what they first appear to be. Not everything always has to be so black and white, but it's our job to create that color. I think the feel that comes from this video is somewhat optimistic. The conflict in this video isn't necessarily and argument between people, but a conflict between a person and the environment around them. It is resolved by creating a unique way to find color and happiness in the world.
