My animation is based on a poem I wrote about a girl with a light bulb attached to her head who wanders around trying to find her purpose in life. Lucy leaves her house and journeys through the woods to the sea. The piece ends where Lucy finds her purpose becoming the light for a lighthouse for a ship lost at sea. I decided to use a 16:9 widescreen format in order to show the vastness of the ocean and the other landscapes. The animation was made in After Effects using several still images I made in Photoshop. The 4 stills are the original 4 panels but expanded into a 16:9 size.
I want the viewer to be able to take from this a sense of self-worth. The main message behind this animation is that everything no matter how bizarre has a greater purpose in life. The viewer should be able to put themselves in Lucy’s shoes walking the path of life until we arrive at the point where we are doing something that we enjoy and gives us a fulfilled sense of being.
