For this project, I choose Rosemary Stones who is author and commentator and based on her article - ‘Pour out the cocoa, Janet’: SEXISM IN CHILDREN’S BOOK. She thought that in a sexist society, choices are basis of a person’s sex rather than on the basis of abilities. Book is a good way to influence people how to treat the gender, especially offer role models to lead child. So, I choose book in this animation, and I show many jobs are done by women. Tell people women can do a lot of work and have freedom. They can have their own goals, even if these jobs are challenging. This animation has two parts. One is black and white that make people feeling cloudy, another one is colorful Showing women have power. At transform part I used wave, since water can make people feeling suffocate, on the other hand it can flush past time. Music is upbeat motivational piano piece (made by Andrew Caden).

The initial idea of this project is to explore the possibility of interactive VR animation and combine it with the theme of exploring ourselves – human beings. In the year of 3000, when the earth might be taken over by another creature, how will they see us human beings? What will happen if they do research on us based on a surrealistic painting of human? Do we really understand our life, our body and our soul? How does it feel like if we see ourselves from another creature’s perspective? By using VR software such as Tilt Brush, Quill, Masterpiece, and Unity, we experimented the possibilities of creating interactive VR animation, and we also tried to break the boundary between interactive VR and animation.

In this world, everyone has a thing above their head showing their thoughts. Everyone has a jumble above their head but a little girl. Hers are fairies of different types. The fairy disappears once it is in contact with other people’s jumble and turns into ashes. One of the fairies were eaten by a jumble. The little girl ran for her life. After some time, she realizes that there is a monster chasing after her. Her fairy protected her. However, when she finally gets away from the monster, the world has become a huge jumble.
