Idea 1:

A series of short animations styled in a hand-drawn/notebook style. I have these old journal drawings and ideas that I’ve always wanted to make into full on animations. They require some captions and talk bubbles, which I would use what we recently learned about with JSON text. I would have to make individual elements of the drawing move very fluidly, and would also need to use the walking man project we worked on. I would want to present it in the specific style I have in mind of looking hand-drawn.

 

Idea 2:

Go back to the time visualization project. When I was working on this, I was struggling with just getting the clock to work in the way it was meant to, and didn’t get to fully explore the aesthetic side of it. I would want to go back and ramp up the idea on which the clock is based on. Because it is meant to be about the perception of time, I could put this plain clock I made inside of someone head as they move around and go through different scenes. Because parts of the clock are sped up, I could have these scenes look like they are sped as well like a time-lapse. To do these things, I would need to work on using objects and arrays to would make up the elements of the scene, and create a sort of path that they move on, with varied speeds.

 

Idea 3:

There is an API called Houndify that is speech-enabling. I could create an animation of a character that tells you you’re schedule for the day. I would use a JSON file to list the schedule, using Houndify to then read it off. And then would want to make a cute character design to “read” it off, perhaps showing the scenes of what is happening within the schedule.
