Visual Inspiration

"Mind Wide Open" is a book written by Steven Johnson on brain chemistry; looking at the fact we are all on drugs all of the time, just natural versions and talks about how this affects our daily lives.

I really like this image in reference to our overall idea. If the eye is the window to the soul then your mind is the door to the inner you. Our animated rooms represent a variety of physical and spiritual choices that we make through life.

A nice image holding the idea that infinite worlds can lie behind each door.

I wanted to use a similar process as the image above to produce the hand and face for my section of animation. Unfortunately this was to prove too difficult as we couldn't find the right material at an affordable price and so we compromised again on this section using just the one gloved hand.


This is a section of animation illustrated by Andy Martin. This appealed to me as inspiration for representing being cut off and the walls you build between yourself and other people when you live a drug infused life. It also gave me the idea of having one or more of my doors bricking itself up instead of fading in and out but that process would have been to time consuming.
