Self-Portrait Ideas

I've come up with a few ideas for my self-portrait. Every time I write one down, another one pops in my head. I haven't decided on one idea yet. I think if I develop these a little more, I'll be able to decide on one. Actually, I'll probably come up with more ideas and I'll never be able to make a decision (which just gave me another idea for the project).


  1. I can't make a decision- I don't know how I'll do this one yet. I just came up with it.
  2. My overactive imagination- I would like to combine live action and animation to convey how little time I spend in reality.
  3. Not being able to get to sleep before 2 am and how I believe it is making me crazy- This would fall under the imagination idea since it is usually the ideas in my head that keep me up at night. Instead of animation I would probably use a lot of still images.
  4. My best non-existent relationships- again would fall under my imagination. I want to use slow cuts of still images with narration. I'm afraid it might become too narrative though.
  5. Being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 20- This would most likely be a mix of live action of me and culture jamming with RA medication commercials
  6. Being extremely narcissistic despite myself- This would be about my love of me in spite of how society believes I should see myself. I'm afraid this one would turn into a documentary.

I had a few more ideas, but I believe these are my best. Hopefully I can decide which one to do soon. If I can't I'll post a poll on here and the 4 people who read this can decide.

Edit:

another idea

  • I hate to wear shoes even in public places or outside. I don't know where I would go with that. Just a thought. I really hate shoes.
