As of right now, I still would really like to try to bring my first project idea to life. I had not originally planned to create a theme or message based on water but after taking some time to consider, I may have changed my mind. I think my project might be a great platform to promote The Thirst Project, a nonprofit organization centered around making sure all countries have access to healthy water. I have a vision where while a voiceover reads out these eye opening numbers about people who are dying from their lack of usable water, the water from my fountain begins to drop lower and lower until eventually stopping completely.
Another idea that was suggested in my feedback comments was changing the scenery and possibly trying to build a specific building or landscape that matched my storyline. Building a physical set (outside of my box of a fountain) is something I would love to do and definitely plan to try in the future. For this specific project, I believe my goals and expectations are challenging but both rewarding and realistic. If I were to try to go larger than my basic build, I fear I might overwhelm myself and end up jeopardizing myself more than anything else.
My current goal right now is to come up with a sketch of what exactly I want this fountain to look like so I can begin moving forward towards creating something tangible.
I think it’d be great to do something where you’re helping a community through awareness while also creating a good media project. If I understand right your idea would be a installation with narrating in it, where the fountain is draining and the voice is in giving facts about the issue or telling a related story. I think anything like that could be attention-grabbing, and I know you’re a good story teller from working with you so doing something creative like you talked about is right in your wheelhouse
