Critique 1 Write-up

Material choices were slightly tied with my concept.  I just wanted to experiment with mixing still images with animation and i used the idea of Hypnagogia to demonstrate this.    Hypnagogia is a Greek term referring to the state in between sleep and dreams.  For me this state happens usually when i'm waking up after a one hour nap and freak out cause i saw spiders dropping on me from the ceiling.  The long pauses on the still scene hopefully add to the idea that reality seems mundane compared to when dreams affect it.  This paired with a quick succession of images at the end should help for contrast.  Although the video has a fairly silly tone I still feel it was a successful experiment.  i just want to give the same feeling i have when i wake up to a skewed reality.  The sound of news droning in the background  with a shrill scream could hopefully be added later to help the piece.

There were a few other images i cut due to time constraint, and i couldn't figure out how to reverse video using photoshop animation.
