Toon Town Photo Bombing

What happens when cartoon characters spring to life? Or we decide that we want to lead a life in a pixelated world? What is it that happens when students are asked these questions, or they are just told to do an assignment and how to do it? Why am I asking so many possibly rhetorical questions?

Okay, I'm done now.

This assignment is called Toon Town Photo Bombing, because it is a chance for students (like me) to get creative, and design a scene where both real life and the silly fantasy of cartoons come together. I found it pretty cool, although I am so unoriginal that I sat for a day at my desk, staring at the blinking line in the search bar of Google, not sure what exactly to do and thinking I was a failure at life. Or, at least BBT class. Eventually, this is what I came up with.

As you can see, this is Dumbo with his new family of real life elephants (click words for links of pictures I used). It's not very creative, I know, but come on, Dumbo is cute, elephants are sweet, I see nothing that could go wrong with this! 

I chose this scene because I honestly couldn't think of anything else, and elephants are my favorite animal, which I know I have mentioned at least once, if not twice, before. So, why not? I'm happy with how the final product turned out and that's all that matters. 

The assignment mentions that this kind of work can be related to film and documentaries, which is definitely true. I have thought about a career in film actually. After high school, I like the idea of moving to Toronto to take up Screenwriting at the Toronto Film School (TFS). I would like to do something like that because I love to write, and I loved watching old movies with my mom when I was younger, like Alfred Hitchcock and Richard Brooks and Steven Speilberg, and you get to learn about them, and why they chose to direct and write the things that they did, and I like that and want to be a part of that. Screenwriting is a way to put my love of writing and film together, and I can't think of anything else that would be able to satisfy my life in the way that I want it to right now. I know that is subject to change, but at the present moment, I like the thought of it very much.
