Further Explorations

I’ve done a bit more work towards my project ideas. One involved creating a rough draft of my fire idea. I first took a picture of one of my friends, and with the help of Photoshop, lit her hair on fire. My plan is to then take this idea and simplify it until I can make a collage out of the burned receipt paper.

I'm not the best at Photoshop, but you get the idea...

My other new addition to my projects is a story idea for Proposal #2. I thought of it awhile ago and only now stumbled upon some of my work. Here’s the idea:

The Bat and the Pig

It’s a tale about a pig who wishes to get out of the pig pen and fly like the birds. Unfortunately, he’s a pig, and is expected to simply eat food and stay where he is. One night while Pig is sleeping in the barn, a bat crashes into the hay next to him. The poor bat is blind, and can’t help but run into things all night. Pig then suggests that if the bat can hold him, the pig can be his eyes and the bat can be the pig’s wings. Bat’s talons are strong from hanging upside-down all day, so after a few tries, he lifts the pig from the ground and they soar off into the night.

(This part I’ve added to my proposal, thus it deserves to be italicized)

It’s a cute story I hope will teach about cooperation as well as not giving up on your dreams. It also looks at how even though people may be different, it doesn’t mean either is wrong or bad, but can still coexist together.

So far, that’s what I have. It’s a little challenging to be working on the projects when I’m not sure which one I want to do yet, but since those are my two main ideas, I don’t mind adding a bit more to them. Not to mention, the story will probably be written anyway, if not for my capstone.
