Instinct, Fight or Flight
March 3, 2011

A cat is trying to sleep on a window sill. It is rainy and stormy outside. Lightning strikes and scares the cat, and he jumps off the window sill. ( The cat actually hears the thunder and gets scared, but I don't have any sound. So the best I could do was have him jolt off the window sill a second or two After the lightning struck.)

I wanted to show how our instincts alert us to fear/danger. Our five senses collect the information around us and when we sense fear, our fight or flight response takes over.

I wanted to try and illustrate instinct and the subconscious take over of the fight or flight response.

The conflict would be the sound of the lightning strike/thunder and the cat, unfortunately I did not have sound but I believe my timing is alright.

I would like to have the time to learn more effects.

While I was working in AfterEffects when moving through the timeline and playing it so I could see which movements I needed to correct it would load very slowly. This was very frustrating and time consuming.
