Alter-Egos

This was my second attempt at stop motion animation, this time far more successful and with the addition of music (always a plus!)

So what exactly does this convey? The title itself is already a clue; it deals with my character and what it's comprised of. We begin with a portrait of me (a little outdated, my hair ins't THAT long anymore) which shatters, giving rise to this notion of a breakdown of character. First, you see the revolutionary (note Che)... a part of me that, in the video, literally consumes me. Which then gives way to an image of a bull (of my own design) that symbolizes both my stubborness and also alludes to my nickname given to me by my friends. And thirdly, we see a (poor) depiction of an eye -- which is the 'window to the soul' -- which transforms into this image I created of an angel battling 4 demons, which alludes to my internal battle of good and evil. In that image, I deliberately made it so that you can't discern who's going to win... much like the battle that takes place within me - torn between good deeds and 'lesser evils.' The culminates back into the beginning, kind of a cycle o circle in which all is intwined into one. My favorite piece thus far...
