Final Project: Waking Up in Another Place

It happened to many of us. You wake up to realize you are not in your room. It also happens when we are dreaming: you wake up to a different place and time. Not knowing your whereabouts is alarming, scary and intimidating. If you are at your friends' place, it's probably ok but imagine if this place is completely different and unknown to you. I believe the worst part of such a scenario would be not knowing how you ended up in that location in the first place. How do you get out of that place? What do you do?Where would you go? What if there is no way out?

I still want to work with world music and music that fuses various genres. I am hoping to start off animations with a prelude video that will have someone sleeping and as the person wakes up I'm hoping to introduce this new place (perhaps another world) through animation,dance and music. Just like Stan Brakhage, I will try and make use of "first-person" perspective. If I can figure out how, I am hoping to construct an alternative world/location where we explore and come across motion graphics/animations. I think I might have to come up with several short vignettes that will make up the whole exploration piece. 

I'm thinking that this project may require a room to itself where the vignettes are reflected on the walls opposing each other. If the character walks towards North then the wall on North will have the video. Then once that vignette is over, character may move to the West. The viewer then will only be able to see movie on the wall to their left etc. 

I am still developing the whole idea. 

Here is an example of a constructed space that was used in Madonna's Get Together video:

Undergraduate Exhibition: I have some material in hand that I can work with but I need to discuss them with Prof. Packer before I work on them.
