After researching more on the topic, I thought about creating a visual on “you are too middle eastern for the west and to wester for the east,” As it relates to the idea of cultural identity & personal identity. I myself struggled with this as I grew up in a western background and then moved back home to the Middle East. I was criticised from both sides of family and friends, I was never good enough.
With the 2030 vision, we are becoming more of a ‘Globalised Saudi’ accepting who we are with our flaws and strengths. Hence, my animation would consist of a woman/man walking down the street with one side consisting of a western background with the person wearing middle eastern clothes and the other side would be the opposite - to express the idea of how people see us. The animation would be drawn from a low point of view as if you were laying down by their feet.
I filmed my friend, however, there were some complications. One of them was, I initially wanted the camera to move in a 180 degree and show the fave pf the front side of the person, whoever it would be impossible as by the time I reach to 90 degrees, the person would give me their back. This was an issue as I wanted the transition of the background to happen when the person steps on the camera.
It wasn’t possible.
