I have a character as this project’s main focus. I’d like to make something similar to an animated clip. They’re based on a much larger story I’m working on, but I want to illustrate their setup specifically. With dystopian sci-fi elements. I have some extremely bare bones ficlets about them, which may be this project’s main setup. I’d like to use this as a backbone to depict “coping with isolation” and some existentially numbing thoughts in project 4.
For a visual reference I have the characters attached. I linked example artworks/videos I’d like to use as reference geared towards my end goal/ final work.

I’d like to explore things we lose while in quarantine or “coping while in isolation.” What are things we generally lose sight of? What do we then begin to feel (almost as an immediate replacement)? I have several jumble ideas of what to feel during quarantine, how others can feel while sealed in habitable boxes we’re fortunate enough to call “home.” But I’m not exactly sure where to pinpoint or narrow my ideas to one theme. Maybe I could explore what it’s like to write during quarantines, with my general senses of anything (socializing, walking, sensing other people’s presences) are reduced to mud. Maybe I can detail my crippling fears of not doing enough, or feeling bad for laying in bed. Maybe I can write a short story that mirrors what it’s like to live in an abandoned area.
