Have you ever wanted to watch something that touches on serious topics and events of mental health? My Senior Ventures project is going to tell a story that will have real-life lessons tied into it. The main character will conceptually go on this journey of self-discovery and learn the importance of perseverance while discovering a deeper message and the meaning of life.
My ambitions for this project are strong, but I wish to carry them out until the very end. In making this animation, I will also have the opportunity to test my abilities to design and create while getting the chance to give others an eye-opening experience. My animations and videos will be made in Clip Studio Paint, a drawing and animating software.
My project is “D.E.P.T.H.S.”
D: Depression (Dysthymia) {indigo}
E: Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder {dark pink}
P: PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) {lighter pink}
T: Transient Global Amnesia (A state of confusion that comes up suddenly in someone who is otherwise alert.) {light orange}
H: Hypersomnia (Condition that causes you to feel very sleepy during the day/or makes you need excessive amounts of sleep.) {orange}
S: Social Anxiety Disorder {light yellow}
Senior Ventures is a year-long academic program built on a framework of leadership, innovation and community engagement. Through a proven self-guided exploratory process, seniors whose proposals are selected for this program work independently to develop a project that’s interdisciplinary in scope and is connective, performance-based, investigative, or entrepreneurial.
