Enjoy.<br \/>\n<b>Jeffrey\u2019s Encounter With Art<\/b><br \/>\nJeffrey Faden<br \/>\nMy final project is a 4-minute animation done in Macromedia Flash. I had my friends provide the voices, and I did all of the art, animation, writing, and otherwise directing. It took me about 72 hours of straight work (and about 200 mg of caffeine) to complete this project.<br \/>\nMy intent in making this animation is to show that one\u2019s identity isn\u2019t necessarily so enigmatic that it has to be conveyed through an obscure art form that often makes no sense. What I\u2019ve seen from past personal experience is that some people try to pass off quickly-made collages or marker drawings as something deeper than it actually is.<br \/>\nTo further prove this point, this project required the most effort I\u2019ve ever into any project. It\u2019s not meant to strengthen my ego in saying that all this hard work is much more important and meaningful than others that might not have taken as much time, but it\u2019s the fact that the form is animation, which I love doing, and that it conveys my identity by showing that I am passionate about what I like.<br \/>\nAnother important aspect is the concept of humor in my work. I was originally planning on making something very different that would attempt to make people reflect deeply on it, but decided to pass that up for something that would be more enjoyable for me to make and for people to watch. And my humor is also a part of me, as I\u2019ve written comics for years.<br \/>\nWhile this project might come off as a cartoon that ridicules the work of other people, it should also inspire thought into what the art world is comprised of, and it should show that perceptions of works of art can be extremely skewed based on the viewer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH THIS MOVIE I&#8217;m FINALLY done with my animation and I have free time again.
