Proposal For my culminating assignment I plan to create an animatic/picture motion video to the song Wherever You Are by Winter. The video will last a quarter of the song to the full 4 minutes, spanning the whole length of the song, and will depict my own characters in a sense of a story, along with depicting their emotions. To complete my assignment I will be using Photoshop and/or flash on a computer with and without a tablet. In using Photoshop or flash I will be using the skills from those programs that were practiced in class, such as motion tweening and digital painting tools. This project is personal to me because I will be using my own characters from my own stories and doing this is doing something I have wanted to attempt for a long time. I took inspiration from videos of what I plan to create and used that inspiration to plan out what I want to make. The aspects of this project that are unique and creatively mine are the story and art I create from the stories.
