I believe Media Design is pure creation. Because things can be
created in a digital world, creativity is not limited by physical laws or
material availability. This is why I have taken inspiration from the quote “This
world is but a canvas to our imaginations” from Thoreau (1980.) This also links
to ‘a new way of seeing.’ My clip will show the viewer the world as seen
through another person’s imagination.
When planning my stop motion clip I thought about where I started
in design. I went back to the first design lecture I ever attended and
saw the quote “students
must attain an innocence of eye, a sort of childish perception…” (Ruskin, 1883.) I
think this quote fits very well with my inspiration from Thoreau and both of
these quotes helped me to decide that the subject of my clip will be a little
girl.
I want to focus on the creative aspect of Media Design and I
believe having a young girl as my subject is the best way to achieve this, an
older subject may consider fame or financial gain as drives for designing
rather than simply for the love of it. I believe creativity is inherent in all
human beings, that it is universal and cannot be contained.
Another aspect of Media Design that I want to show is the
interaction between the digital and the physical world. I was inspired by this
stop-motion animation showing the creator interacting with the creation.
My stop-motion clip will show a new way of seeing, through the
imagination of a child as she brings her digital creations into the real world
and interacts with them.
