final artist statement


Before the project I was thinking of how I could execute it the way I envisioned it. At first I thought it would be something that was kind of comical, but as you can see it turned out to be something more serious. I started out looking for pictures and they were harder to find than you would think. A lot of them had copyright protection so they were unusable.

While working on the project and putting the photos in order, I began to realize that the story was kind of sad. It was sad that I was telling a story of something that died so fast. Then I realized how it is all a cycle and I wanted it to end happy. So I showed a new bud in the fallen leaf's place. When I searched for the music, I ended up picking the first song I searched. I think it added to the seriousness of the video. 

After the project I felt like the narrative really mirrored all life. How everything is subjective and our live's seem so short to us. Hopefully in the end of our lives we will realize that it all had a purpose. It was really cheesy but I liked the idea and the music really helped create the atmosphere. I hope you enjoy!
