Bad Trip
My project showcases escapism through use of psychedelics. I am inspired by 70’s psychedelic music videos, and also the anti drug campaigns that aired at this time
“bad trip” explores negative experiences of the consumption of psychedelics. Feelings of paranoia, physical discomfort and lack of motor control are portrayed through a first person perspective animation.
The visual aesthetic, which is comprised of 3d renders, as well as some 2d digitally animated assets, Is used to represent different psychedelic states. For example bold defined line, intense colour palette and tactual reflective surfaces. As per the experience of a person on a bad trip
I wish to incorporate a thick slime, to drip slowly as a backdrop to my short film, in my viewing area, to add an uncomfortable, mucus like effect to compliment the mood of my piece. due to its stringy flow it matches the use of flowing lines in my piece, which is an integral element.
