Three Ideas
Before i get too ahead of myself in the actual animation i want, i should think of a good foundation to build off of. What do I care about to make an animation about? I like the idea of using various mythologies to support a more universal spiritual identity that i believe. Another idea i could run with is my disagreement with how offended people become because of stereotyping. Everyone is stereotyped based on how they dress combined with their overall attitude. It's called a first impression and most of the time if you see a dark colored man with a size xxl shirt and two pairs of boxers (both showing) is it "racial profiling" for him to be stopped and searched or is it just an overall first impression that he could possibly be a vagrant? I guarantee the same man in a suit (even if he didn't have the money to keep it well kempt) would be less likely to be assumed as up to no good. We all show ourselves the way we want to be seen so there is no reason to hold it against someone else for their first impressions. The third idea deals a little more politically. After seeing war movies it hit me that when America enters into a country we go in like we own the place. Military expects to be alpha male, pointing guns at whoever has them and expects for them to disarm. Just as two dogs getting into a fight and the other is expected to roll over and be submissive. The flaw in this is that we our demeanor commands that whoever it is either bends over to our will or die.. There is no cooperation or mutual agreement in this. Everyone else is america's bitch until someone kicks our own ass. And it will happen, just as the bully in our playground grew up and became a loser that knew nothing of love. (unless he changed of course.)

I think these are all important topics. Can't really pick a favorite. I would say that b/c topics like this have been discussed a lot, make sure you put a definite idea, vision, philosophy that is uniquely yours. I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean to really open up people's minds to think differently than they might have before.
ReplyDeleteGo with the second one as I think it will provide the most amount of room for expansion and growth and will allow you the freedom to delve into the first and third when dealing with religious intolerance and american ignorance.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting topic I read was the one about racial issues and stereotyping. All three of these topics are so diverse I am surely drawn to this one because of some personal bias. Race issues are one of the biggest problems we have in this part of the country, and you could develop this idea into something that would have an impact the community.
ReplyDeleteWow it seems like a lot of my ideas are others too lol. i chose mythology as well seeing as how im in world mythology this year. I however know based upon seeing some of your prior work that this will be completely different and interesting. I disagree though with the first impression part in ways. yea the way one carries themself lends to first impressions being good or bad but who are we to judge them? I being of african decent actually know people who dressed that way and are nowhere near the type one would consider to be in a gang or up to no good. Profiling is wrong, no sugar coating. However i am not saying i dnt like it by far because i still believe this could be an interesting topic. i am curious as to how you will approach it and am very anxious to see. As far as politics, i saw andrews prior to this and expressed concerns about it being the same boring politic bashing crap as other stuff even though i hate politics. but if it where made fresh it would be good. I feel as though talking about more of the military branches does so and can be very effective.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a connection with Larry's ideas, perhaps some random exchange of thoughts and ideas. Such a deep and vast area to delve into, and of course as you said, personal.
