Thesis

As I embark on this eight month process I am having a hard time making any sort of decision. The problem I am having is that thesis is such a huge commitment. I have to love my idea. It has to be great, because it is going to consume my life for the next two semesters. Hopefully it helps me get a job in the future as well and shows off my talents as an artist.

I have committed myself to what Thesis will NOT be:
My thesis will NOT BE: funny, cute, or focused on character animation, it will not have a long involved story with some sort of plot that takes twists and turns, it will NOT focus on animation of people animals or imaginary beings, there will be NO dragons, slapstick, or Robots. It will not take place in the future.

My thesis will be (this is way harder to describe):
An integration of texturing lighting and scenery that evokes emotion and communicates a powerful concept through beautiful imagery. I want to create an environment that intrigues, educates, and wows the viewer. The camera, sets, and props will narrate the story. What/ where will this place be? I haven't quite made up my mind about that. But it is narrowed down to a couple.
