My animated memoir is a short series of stories that are told in this video. They are stories based on people around me who have gone through these experiences. I created a childrens book for a previous class assignment so I just chose to recreate that into an animation. I wanted it to seem as though you're flipping or rifling through a book so it has stiff transitions. I also wanted to keep it a childrens book theme which is why I chose to add color and stick with a cartoonish feel. Originally, I was going to add sound, but decided that it didnt really mesh with the video because I only wanted to integrate it into certain parts. For the memoir, I cut out pieces of paper and took pictures of them layered on top of one another. In photoshop, I colored some parts of the images while adding certain text to see how those three elements would be layered on top of each other. These are all true stories and even though it may be short, hopefully it leaves an impact.
