Bring Nature Closer to Home



Hey Vancouver! Stop trying to carry wild animals into your homes, that's just silly!
You know what's a good way to bring nature closer to home? Build a park and a sense of community in your neighborhood!

Toilet Training



Working on this project was awfully frustrating. This was my original idea for a grad thesis film, and I'm really glad I got it out of the way before my senior year. My original purpose was to explore character in inanimate objects (that didn't go very well) and to go crazy with Particular. I did get to play with particular a lot more than I had to previously, but still, I didn't get as far as I would've liked to.
At least it's done. Ish. I guess?

Trabajar en este proyecto fue increíblemente frustrante. Ésta fue mi primera idea para un proyecto de tesis, y la verdad estoy bastante contenta de haber intentado hacer esto antes de mi último año. Mi idea original era explorar la idea de personalidad en objetos inanimados, una tarea en la que fallé horriblemente. También quería experimentar más con Particular, y sí tuve oportunidad de jugar y probar cosas que no había hecho antes, pero no tanto como hubiera querido. Al menos está medio hecho, creo.

Grad Film Ideas

So... none of them is fleshed out or well thought of yet. Brainstorming. Yep.

Idea #1: A girl
In a world with no females or sexual reproduction  (babies are born from plants), a solitary man finds a baby that's just not like the rest. By learning about differences through his relationship with his new daughter, he learns how to deal with those that are more like him.

Idea #2: A ghost
After being kicked out of the haunted mansion that had been his home for a very long time, a lonely ghost decides to pack his bags and move to the city. Follow his adventures as he travels through Craigslist to find the perfect place to chill and as he develops relationships with the living! 

Idea #3: A convention
Nicolle, the local cosplay star and leader of the A-list girl clique at Central City Comic Con, hates fake nerds. After Anna, a casual sci-fi fan, wins the coolest and most precious action figure in a raffle, Nicolle and her friends will do anything to show her who's boss and kick her butt out of the convention for good.
