Initial Video Idea

The brief for this module is to make a 90 second video that acts as a reinterpretation or innovatory development of an object. I have decided to use a personal stereo device as the main object for this video. The idea is that video will feature someone on their way home listening to a portable device such as an iPod, and will show the person selecting various songs of different genres. Each time a new song is selected the view will change and the device itself will become the main focus/character and be listening and reacting to the selected song. The idea is that the personal stereo character changes into the device of the music's era. For example 80's music would see the player become a personal 'Walkman' cassette player and the player would dance and react to the music it's listening to.

When the person/player arrives home, the device will jump into the wall of the living room and the room will become a media centre that is no longer just a personal player. The rooms features will be animated to show this, such as the windows pulsate with the beat of the music etc. This will represent the progression of personal music player's over the years and also show the idea of how they could be used as a device to power a media centre.

I plan to film the video using real time video for journey of the person and device character as well as showing the person scrolling through the music choices from the device. The stereo characters will be created using 3D and animated on to the captured real time footage.
