One type of project that I've always wanted to make is a stop motion movie. I've always thought stop motion was a really fun medium and enjoy viewing short stop motion animations. I've never really had a chance or the right software available to me to try this until now. I'm not sure what I'd want it to be about, but I'm pretty sure that I want to explore this type of project and make one of my own. I've heard that they can be extremely frustrating and time-consuming, but most of the things that are worth doing are, so I'm trying not to let that intimidate me from making an attempt.
The biggest problem I can think of is trying to think of a good, worthwhile idea and finding the necessary materials to make the idea happen. It would be fun to do a claymation stop motion, but I also think that might take up even more time than I could put into it. Either way, I'm excited to start working on making a stop motion animation of my own!
Additionally, using a photograph to be the background and placing animation over the top of it is something that I think would be interesting. For example, having a picture of a closet and having it appear to be just a picture of a closet, but then after a little while of looking at it, a tentacle monster reaches out of it or something. I wish I knew enough about animation to make this happen. I wonder if I could learn fast enough to try that for this class...
Another type of multimedia project I'm interested in doing is doing a paint-over of a photograph and recreating it as an illustration. I would take a picture of either someone or something and use bright, vibrant colors to turn it into a cartoonish image. I wouldn't be aiming for accuracy and loads of shades and colors and details, but rather, a stylized new version of the image. It would retain the same composition and subject matter and everything, but it would be a digital painting instead of a digital photograph.
I also think it would be interesting to use photography to either disguise or incorporate someone into their surroundings. I'm not sure if it would be printing the images and having the person hide behind them and then take a picture of that, or if they would become a part of the clothing or what, but this idea seems really fun to me. I'm also not sure how obvious I would want it to be- if it would be really hard to find them ad have their face painted and everything- or if it would be just their torso hidden and their head and arms and legs visible or what.
