Title: Seamless

Synopsis: For the assignment It’s Personal I will create a semi-autobiographical, mixed media short film. My greatest fear is losing my mind, so my film will follow me chasing marbles through three distinct segments of my life. Since I tend to have a positive, imaginative perspective on life I will experiment with animation, chroma key, childhood footage, experiential sounds, and costumes.  With seamless transitions and a repeated beginning and end, I plan to portray time as circular and elusive instead of linear and stable.
