I felt I was really able to dive into this animated project. With lots of experience using Adobe software, I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to use After Effects, as it pulled all my knowledge and skills and pushed it to the next level. Once I was able to decide on a theme, I had lots of fun discovering multiple dimensions to place my mouse in. I decided to create my project around my discovery of a mouse in our house. One afternoon when I came home from school, I noticed a mouse sitting to the left of our fridge, right beside the door from the kitchen to the garage. At first, I screamed on the top of my lungs, calling for all my roommates, but once I realized how sick and confused the mouse was, I toned it back. The little mouse looked like it was on its last leg, and I felt the only thing to do was to set the little guy/gal free. We scooped it into a red solo cup (see picture) and sent the mouse back into Chautauqua to be free. This experience inspired me to create the most absurd plot for how this mouse got into our house, because to this day, I have no idea how the mouse got inside, but I definitely have let my imagination tell the story. In the future I plan to continue with After Effects, as it seems like the perfect opportunity for me to develop my already strong Photoshop skills and push my art to the next level!
