Senior Studio 2 Artist Statement

I'm Dezmond Gipson. A digital media artist focusing on film and animation. I have always considered time based media to be the ltimate form of art. The rise of youtube.com and newgrounds brought to my attention that breaking into the scene of film and animtion is possible for anyone. My goal as a film maker is to create experiences. I want my viewers to have fun, feel emotions, get lost in the art, and believe that without a doubt there is a possibility in the tv magic.

In my film Grow Up, you witness a boy aging from infancy to a young adult through his room and the item that he considers dear to him. The story is told throgh props alone, so no characters. I want viewers to feel connected to the character. I want them to believe that if it were possible to see there own childhood room in such a way that they could compare themselves to him. They will know the true character that lives in that room and would be begging to know what he looks like

Internship Meeting

I really like how Carrie Brooks is being very close to us and our internship this semester. I guess it is so we get exactly what we want from or internship, because I know a lot of us were disappointed with out internship before, but I am not a fan about how much random sheets she wants us to fill out. Instead of straight up asking us what we want we have to fill out a form about that. A little elementary in my opinion.

Career Fair

Career Fair was dope. I feel again a lot of employer wanted me to be graduating. I most of them were asking for full time, but I'm glad that I got my name in their mouths already. I feel like I could have been for straight forward with what I wanted from each person that talked to me. I kind of just let them talk to me. I think I'm at the point were I can make sure I get what I want from each opportunity, but for most of them anyway I have to wait until I can work Full Time.
