“See What's Possible” Challenge

La TĂȘte (The Head) by Charmaine Watkiss

Backstory

I knew I wanted to make something surreal involving eyes! I had a look on the Stock exchange which is a great resource for royalty free images. I used the key word 'surreal' and found the image of the man's head. I brainstormed lots of scenarios that the head would find itself in. I story boarded then set about designing the scenes.

Software Used Photoshop, After Effects,Soundtrack Pro
Hardware Used Apple Mac Dual 2GH PowerPC G5, 2GB Ram
Technique After storyboarding I created the three scenes in photoshop using a combination of my own images and those sourced from the Stock Exchange (free image resource). I then imported the layouts into After Effects as comps and animated them. The sound design was done to picture after I completed the film.
