So this week I was asked to challenge my self with a creative exercise. I thought to myself " yay! " this is something that I can do and feel comfortable while doing it. But then I read the directions again and realized the idea was to challenge myself with something that was different and maybe not so easy.
I decided to research some creative exercise's online. There were some that claimed to get your creative juices flowing or help think out side the box. While reading article upon article, I realized that creativity and the need for it, is not just something that only artists or writers struggle with and that the pressures of time constraints, often impeding an individuals ability to create something stellar much less a single creative thought at that, did not start or end with me. .. (I laugh out loud as I write this because it sounds so silly as i am typing this and realizing how close minded that sounds in it's self. But one challenge stood out to me for reasons i'm not sure I can pin point at this exact moment.
The challenge was to use six words that had meaning to me in some way and that told a story. I then decided to add an image in After Effect to illustrate the story (so to speak ) with animated text. Now that is something that looked so easy but i'll never look at another animated text the same again. For my self it was a challenge more so then I want to admit. Well here it is. In all its simplistic glory.
Music Is medicine for the soul.
