To begin with the project, I started with deciding the topic/person that I want to work with. To be honest, video is not my most strongest nor my favorite medium to work with, so I think it would be a good idea to work on a person I know a lot and I am interested in. The first person I chose was Hideki Anno, the director of Evangelion series. Because I recently read an article about Anno and his works, I thought It would be fun to work on this topic. But as I began to brainstorm with the story line, I realized that this is a very hard topic to work with; first, I do not know Anno in person, so the only thing I can talk about is his anime, but then it wouldn’t be ‘his portrait.’ So the next and final topic I thought about is my friend, Cyan. So I cleared my thoughts and came up with the story line.

Then I started to work on the storyboard, following the story line I came up with. Because my storyline was very detailed, it was pretty easy to make a storyboard. I decided what kind of videos/pictures I will put in each part of the story at this step.

Then I made a list of videos, pictures, and drawings I need for the project, just to make my job easier. Then I started collecting the elements I need. I went out to take some pictures and videos, I drew the drawings I needed. Then I decided what kind of music I will use as the background music. I choose a OST from an anime that Cyan and I both like. Then following the storyboard and the rhythm of the music, I finished my project using the Premiere Pro.
