On Friday, we were split up into groups. I grouped up with Hannah, Haley, and Paul, and we all introduced ourselves. All of us brought in various items we had made: a paper crane, a paper ball, a crochet ball, and a crochet cat. We did quite a lot of productive brainstorming.
The items led the group to share the things we enjoyed and the talents we had to get a feel for something we might all be interested in. Hannah shared an animation she had made, and I shared some games I had coded. We are all a bit creative, and after some suggestions and some rejections, we thought that a video might be a really fun and creative thing to make. We weren't entirely sure what the video would be about, but we all agreed on producing a video.
So, our next task was to decide the method of production. We bounced a lot of ideas around, but one thing stuck quite quickly. After sharing a few videos, we really wanted to create a stop-motion video! Stop-motion videos are very entertaining and can be completed on a low budget for a high quality video. We thought this would also make it easy to incorporate people from all over campus, as we could show individual frames of different people. We decided to fit lots of people into a short video all set on one theme.
Inspiration videos:
Food. Everyone loves food... It connects all of us, so why not make a video about it? But food alone wasn't enough of a topic to make an influential video, so we expanded food into 'food for thought,' things people do to sustain themselves, such as sports and hobbies. What do college students, especially at Tech, do to relieve stress from all their schoolwork?
