280 Entry Title:

Good Morning

Project Description:

Sound on! The art featured in this video was done in MsPaint by me. The art/coloring is intentionally messy for a sketch-like effect, as well as for stylization purposes. The video was edited in iMovie. The music in the background is Good Morning from the video game Omori, and plays during the credits in the Good/True Ending. The lyrics featured go along with the song, but are not sung. The character featured is Sunny, the player character and main character in Omori. I wanted to represent how turning over a new leaf in life can be disorienting, and how sometimes you don’t always feel like you’re improving. But I also wanted to show a side of optimism, and a hope that things will get better, all things represented by the song featured and themes close to the game Omori.

All entries, from conception to final product, must be written, directed, and produced by the students entering the production. However, there is no age limit on the actors or performers who appear in the production. Each entry must have a title, and credits presented in the beginning or ending graphics including acknowledgement of any copyrighted material.
Videos can be uploaded directly into the online submission form by clicking on the upload button and choosing the project saved on your device. If your work is saved on YouTube, Vimeo, or Office 365 Stream, it can be submitted by copying and pasting a link into the online entry form instead of using the upload button on the online submission form.
