WE PERFORM
The initial intentions of my senior project are the same as my finished project, just through a different means. Originally, the entirety of the project was going to be similar to that of a theater production; however, with the Covid-19 outbreak, things changed quickly.
​
It was always my intention to use this project as a means of coming out as queer while also addressing the fear I feel. The final project utilizes imagery that was shot from the Mable Tainter theater, while also using a dialog with one's self to navigate conflicting thoughts and fears.
ARTIST INTRODUCTION
A brief intro to the artist
A brief description of the process in the film's creation as well as descriptions of obstacles faced in development.
PHASE ONE
Storyboard Artist: Brian Eichmann
Musician: Autumn Pillsbury
An animatic to show the intentions of the film:Â in both mood and imagery as well as audio syncing.
PHASE TWO
Cinematographer: Brian Eichmann
Performers: Autumn Pillsbury, Gabe Roeske
After being unable to have live actors due to the Corona outbreak, my crew and I worked to shot references and blank imagery to then draw over (similar to the animatic).
PHASE THREE
Storyboard Artist: Brian Eichmann
Editor: Amanda Schroeder
This idea was working well for a time; however, with the ever-approaching deadline as well as some personal issues, this idea had to be scrapped. Some of the imagery was still able to be salvaged.
