Autobotography Approach_ColeT

The goal of this project is to create another self by using a tool beside a video camera. I decided that creating a 3D animation of a myself would be a new idea that other people could use as well. This animation includes key moments of my life that made me into the person I am today. Using Alice as the building block of this animation gives a visual of what that particular moment was like for me and what my thoughts were during that time. People who view it will see more of my thoughts and how I feel then they would in meeting me in person. I am naturally a quiet person and I want people to see more of myself and a 3D animation will let them learn more about me and what kind of person I am thanks to those moments in my life.

This project will stand on it’s own because it brings a new concept to recording ones own life. A person who seeks to record their own life won’t need a webcam to do it and instead they can do a 3D animation to recreate those movements and show people how it happened. I want people to explore this new concept and see how far they can take it when they try it on their own. The ability to show people inspiring moments your life will show them how far you’ve come to being the person you are today. 3D animation will have something new then using a webcam or another media tool to record yourself.

My credit for this idea comes from Jennicam and also from my parents for a specific moment in my life that came to mind. These two things inspired me to use 3D animations to record key moments in my life.

Budget: $0 for alice because it is a free download for Mac or windows depending on what type of computer is available to you.
