Memory Project

Here's a quick synopsis of the memory project I'm doing.


The idea was to create an animation based on a 30s audio clip of me recounting a memory, any memory. The retelling was to be spontaneous and unrehearsed, full of ums and ers.


The memory I talk about is from the two years I spent as a child living in California. Once, in the sandpits at kindergarten, I become trapped under a large, upturned green bucket. I had been playing, maybe hiding under the bucket, and someone had come and sat on top. In the short time that I was rendered trapped I remember feeling terribly frightened which is probably why the memory (one of few I have of my time in California) has stayed with me. 


My plan for this project is to create something quite sketchy and ephemeral in accordance with the nature of memories and dreams. Also the sketchy style will be a reference to my age at the time: it will be as if the animation was drawn by my five year old self.
