Final Project

My final project is composed in After Effects including video elements shot in a studio with the back grounds keyed out. Colorful clips are multiplied, speed ramped, and distorted with Optics Compensation and stretched with the After Effects camera angle to create a more dynamic image.

Kinestasis

For my kinestasis study, I want my project to stand out from the rest. I plan on using the technique used in this music video where the hands create an environment. I have never done this before but I know I can figure it out.

For the story of the project, I am lost. My goal is just simply to create something that is fun to look at and then possibly come up with a story or dialogue from there. I might ask for help from my friends because I am not that creative in that sense.
I plan on taking a tree out of the picture's environment and copying it over and over and placing it in different depths. I'm not even sure that I want to use the picture as a whole, only pieces of it separately. I have already took the picture into photoshop and added color. It doesn't look great but it definitely and improvement from black and white.
I don't know how using the sounds from the folder we were given is going to help me. The only thing I can think of is creating a song or beat out of the random tones that the samples have to offer. I can make a beat out of anything that has sound. I really want to challenge myself to stay within that folder even though it is a major restriction. This will be a fun challenge.
