DAYDREAM IN BLUE
Program Thesis
Over my last semester at Dawson, we had the opportunity to create a work of art that was meaningful to us. I gave myself 12 weeks to produce a digitally hand-drawn animation using software I had no prior experience with. Although there were many ups and downs throughout the process of making this piece come to life, I learned so much and couldn’t be happier with the final result. This project would not have been possible without the help of I Monster, who kindly let me use their song ‘Daydream in Blue’ to make my project come to life. I hope you enjoy the animation as much as I loved producing it.
THESIS STATEMENT
I aim to create an animation to complement the song "Daydream in Blue" by I Monster from their album Neveroddoreven (2003). This song evokes a certain psychedelic feel that I intend to emphasize with the help of a frame-by-frame animation created using Clip Studio Paint. My vision is a free-flowing and abstract sequence whose meaning is mostly up to the interpretation within the mind of the viewer.
