The Obscure

Welcome, one and all, to the incongruent ravings of an inferior mind!

No matter what happens to me during the day, be it good or bad, happy or sad, cheerful or depressing, it always turns out the same way. I go into the bathroom late at night to take a leak and brusha me teefs, and Ba-BAM! I spend half an hour making faces at myself in the mirror. It has gotten to the point where I can manipulate my face in ways I had hitherto never thought possible. And it inspired me.
Here's my idea!
I want to take a camera (perhaps my digital one, if I can ever get it working) and take a series of photos of myself and/or other people making strange faces in sequence, take hundreds (or thousands!) of these pictures and upload them on el computero, right? I'm talking like really really weird faces, like the kind you make that you don't want ANY-one to see, because they are so grotesque. It would be very time consuming, I know. But it would be awesome! Cause then I'd take the pictures, and polish out some of the creases in the facial structure, right? So the weirdness looked really natural, and then leave some of the creases in different ones, and animate them all, make them flow together, so it's person changing into person changing into person, with crazy grimaces and wacky facial changes, with their mouths opening and closing as if they are talking, right? And I would manage the level of mouth close-i-tude according to what the person would be saying, right? AND THEN! I would animate a background for it, just a psychadelic amorphous mass of squiggles and angles and shapes, turning and writhing behind the person as they change, Maybe being a city or a town one second, then an ocean, then a different planet, then a desert, y'know? And then I'd patch in some audio of people talking, one person reciting maybe a line from the Preamble, and then someone else reciting a line from Dante's Inferno, and someone ELSE reciting a line from "Stopping in the woods on a snowy evening", and so forth in that fashion, and I would align this predetermind audio with it's allotted place in the animation, so they changing person would be saying all these things in different voices at different times, and I would doctor the animation so that it would go really fast sometimes so the changes flip by, and then really slow other times so that it's like the person is melting like liquid glass into another person.
Just think of like three minutes of just... that. That would be so much fun for me, to do. Maybe I will do it. Anyone feel like helping out? I could use the BTV video editing equipment, maybe.
I'll probably never actually DO that, but you have to admit, it would be REALLY cool.

In retrospect, that whole idea probably didn't make any sense to anybody, I read it over and it's pretty incoherent. But thinking about it right now, at 3:15 in the morning when I am tired and wacky, it's AWESOME.
G'night everybody.
