process
So, I decided that to pull off this project more specifically to my original vision, i am going o be doing it in 2-d animation, and then positioning the pieces using video software. I think this will be much less complicated because i know what i am doing with the animation software more than the video software but I'm still going to be mixing the different styles of animation, and picture slide shows to make it seem experimental and together, as i enjoy.

Someone is Watching You "revised"
First there is this artful animation going on with bright colors and interesting movement, when all of a sudden this creature or human figure starts seeping through, representing today's artistic and cognitive mental child dying in a sea of bright shiny colors, and trying to escape mainstream minds views of "what is art?" or what they consider art.
He starts beating on the screen trying to get out. The guy on the couch watching it with mindless enjoyment represents the mainstream viewer of art as a whole. He starts to notice that the creature is trying to get out, his hand comes through the TV covered in static representing actual arts out cry to reach cognition, amongst a general populous of lobotomy-like cretins watching screens to escape everyday life.
The person on the couch starts to snap out of his mental hibernation to notice that the thing coming through the TV wants his attention, he looks around confused seeing that with a disturbing miracle such as this was just enough to grab said mainstream "art" viewer to actually take notice. He goes up to the TV in awe of what is going on. And the hand through the TV grabs the remote from him. This is to symbolize a quazi belief I have that art should rule the lives it touches, and this guy was touched. If art touches you, you should make art in its honor, of any kind.
By grabbing the remote the creature then starts to push in numbers on the remote changing the guy into famous and brilliant artists of the past chronologically. From imotep to Warhol, even famous writers, and anyone creatively. I feel the mainstream as a whole will never look at or read for that matter, anything that they just won't throw away and consume like locusts consume corn and sugar fields.
Art really doesn't move good ole Joe schmo anymore.
At the end of the piece the hand flips the remote one more time symbolizing my ideals through dictatorship stylings, and you see our guy sitting on the couch reading a book, and when he goes to flip a page you see his hand turn to static just like on the TV.
Art in the past was revered as being moving, life changing and genius. I can name several people I know that do not think of art as disposable, and the mainstream art viewer is whom I’m trying to aim at in this piece. I am very angsty and spiteful about mainstream culture and how sheepishly people try to pass off shit as art and literature.
I also feel the campy humor I’m going to emphasize in the piece will be enough to keep an art critic and Joe shmo watching it until the end. joe shmo loves cliches, thats why I added the ole hand through the TV sequence.
