First project: Multiple Personalities (due 03.05.09)

This is a single-channel split screen video project, where you will have 2 image sequences playing simultaneously on the same screen. Think of each sequence as a video self-portrait with sound, and decide how you want your 2 (or more) selves to interact. Storyboard your sequences together, keeping in mind that the viewer will see both simultaneously. Think about where and when you want your viewers to focus, and keep the total run time to approx. 2 minutes. Once you have decided on the sequences, arrange them within a 16 x 9 or 4 x 3 rectangle (aspect ratio depends on your camera). The screen can be divided in any direction: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Check out http://www.splitscreen.us/ for ideas and inspiration.
