I don't want to be watched!

It feels comforting for many people to fit in, to be part of the crowd and consequently not have attention drawn to themselves. They are happy to be anonymous. They go with the flow while still seeking their personal goals, working hard each day to make our world a better place, but there isn't the need to constantly be the center of attention while others are focused on their successes. Below, here is a simple animation I created from this idea.

a day in the life...

Many times people are interacting with others they have never met before: hailing a cab, arriving at an airport, leaving the subway, walking to school, sitting in the waiting area, waiting in line to get food at a restaurant. They are given a number; so they are one person amongst a huge crowd of hundreds of others. Some people get lost in the shuffle, but you need to stick to your plan, even if you are anonymous.

IDENTITY process

I'm interested in including animation as part of my final product despite having limited experience with animation. This is a short rotoscope animation I created, which relates to the theme of being anonymous and revealing one's identity.

IDENTITY

website notes:

-looking at cultural identity—at Australia in specific and how the population and culture’s mix while incorporating Flash, and the Adobe Suite.
-as the dots roll over the image will show a person’s face
-the images move aft a couple of dots are shown
-explore culture in Sydney and the population
-fade in and out of faces and juxtaposed into other faces
-include daily populated places such as train stations

Anu’s comment:

A great start to the “identity” theme. Develop it further and can’t wait to see. Just be too careful not to get too inspired by too many sites. We only have couple of weeks and you can’t have too many “stray” thoughts. The idea has great potential to grow and develop further and the concept had a good deep meaning. Have a lot of fun doing it.
