PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR INFO
Just my visual arts year 12 major project for school (Crestwood High School in Australia). Btw if you are wondering, HSC stands for High School Certificate. This project was due on the 1st of September 2008. When watching, keep the title of the video in mind and I encourage all viewers to perhaps, interpret this artwork in their own ways or views.

This artwork did not get nominated for Art Express. No one else in my class got nominated which was really unexpected =(.

HOW I EDITED THIS:
It seems lots of people wanted to know so I'll explain briefly.

Originally I was going to sketch each frame by hand but because I started my project late and because it took too long, I decided to use Photoshop instead.

First I'd record myself, import the footage to Sony Vegas 7.0, capture it frame by frame, put it in photoshop, then outline lol. A total 2484 frames were edited and possibly another 500 or so from unused scenes and bits that were edited out.

-----------------------------------

All camera work was done by me so some of the angles, like the overhead one, was done by literally sticking my camera to the ceiling with tape =_=. I had no tripod (I didn't want to spend any money) or a cameraman so a lot of the setting up was done using books, shelves or whatever I could use really.

-----------------------------------

With the lack of time because of the amount of work required for the project, I had to cut down and remove some scenes and ideas that I had which really sucked but I guess it still came out ok and from the comments I got I guess I'm quite satisfied...for now...

-----------------------------------

Concept/Idea:
It's about the imagination, dream, mind etc. The rest is up to you to decide.

-----------------------------------

I spent a total of $0 on this artwork (excluding preexisting items etc)

-----------------------------------

Also the student id thing, I was meant to put my name for the youtube upload but oh well, enough blabbering, hope you enjoy my artwork =)
