Final Project Video

About the Project

CLICK HERE to view my final video. For the final, we were allowed to make a new two minute story or revise and add onto our midterm video. I chose to revise my midterm video above of Flavors of Home. I added an extra minute of animation in between the video and revised the background sound effects and music from feedback. I want to highlight both versions as separate pieces to show my improvement and determination to grow as an artist and storyteller in that short amount of time. The added minute of animation was actually a concept I had for my midterm but I did not have a lot of time to make it. It is the colorful, abstract montage of happy memories with Filipino food and culture derived from my life. Some examples include the dress the character wears, a baro't saya, and playing in the beaches of Boracay. Every memory includes different Filipino foods that I have strong memories with. The montage ends with the character being accepted into a far away college with the colors and music becoming sadder as she becomes more alone. My video is heavily inspired by La La Land and showing emotions through color. The brighter the colors, the happier the character is and the duller the colors, the more sad the character feels. Texture also plays a role as in the happy sequences, the texture and designs are remeniscent of a children's book. The sadder scenes have a sketchy texture that is less clean to show that the character does not have everything all together mentally.
