Time Is The Enemy ( Thesis)
Time is the enemy. From a natural aspect, all life forms must come to an end. From a human cultural aspect, society has transformed time to a corrupted deal that can be used to manipulate and deceive the culture. For this project, I created a short metaphorical and surrealist animated film in demonstration of the twisted effectiveness of the cultural aspect of time.
Art 415 Final project Still images
All leaving species and natural things will one day die as time goes on.
A lost future.
Remote fight as emblematic of struggles for hierarchies. People with high statuses can pretty much own and rule anybody. People want that power because with power you can control anything you want because you’re the one in charge.
Similar concept to the remote fighting scene, In that case instead of a fight, we have a human fertilization racing toward the egg as there can only be one victorious. In another way the sperms are racing against time. The sun is another way of indicating times, and as we all now the egg can also be represented as the sun in this scenario,
Activated. This image indicates the victorious of the fight/race and now posses the the most powerful and vicious power.
That remote is power. Without that power and status, you’ll just end up to be like the rest who are affected by it, But that won’t likely happen to him because the power his now tightly in his hand.
Sitting on the top of the roof because the higher ou are, the higher your status is. and the people below of the apartment are now under his power because they are his servants now. the Sculpture that is displays on the TV is The Winged Victory of Samothrace, also called the Nike of Samothrace. Symbolizes his accomplishment is the greatest masterpiece.
His view toward Society is money, everyone is money contributor. That’s his world, His kingdom and he can control people however he likes because he is the one in charge of everybody else times.
He’s the one in charge, he’s the one with that Vicious power that he uses to complete his will by bossing and controlling people around and living people with very few limtied time to actually enjoy life.
Life is like a game of chess. Every moves and decision that you make could either bring you an advantage or disadvantage. In that case the the snakes are the deceiver that will now control your action. Snakes can be seen as evil, and so you are now be posses and control by the devil to whatever it pleases you to do and if you don’t, negatives outcome will come your way.
The snakes emerged from the sun. like I mentioned before, the sun can be use a another source to predict time. The snakes were emitted from the sun like sun rays and now time is manipulating the people. the one who won the fight an the race is the one who holds that power and use time as a corrupted source to control society. Time is money.
I’m in control
We’re are now puppet being posses by the ruler. Time isn’t yours, so you can’t use it for your free will. your role is now to be served as the follower.
who’se In charge
The one in charge is able use time as a corrupted form of power to control and manipulate society.
A symbolic scene
This is one of the scene that will be used in my short animation. This video setting isn’t exactly what I want but since this is just a quick update, I decided to leave it like that and will adjust everything at once I have all the scenes ready to edit.
The idea of this seen is a connected to the ‘fighting for the remote scene’ scene which hold the semiotic meaning to this scene. I decided to integrate it with with a fertilization race because the concept is pretty similar in a way. The hands fighting for the remote is indicating a fight for the higher status, emblematic of of human struggles for hierarchies. So I thought the ideology of having a fertilization would be a great feature since it involves a race and fighting between many eggs to achieve one common goal and that is to be on top to fertilize the egg.

This is a quick rendered shot of one of the scene that will be used in an nonlinear metaphorical short animation.

I Pet Goat II
Louis Lefebvre
Semiotic theories: Illuminati, Deceiver, anti-Christ, Destruction, war, death and evil.
The Illuminati controls all the governments of the world. That’s one of the reasons that the creator of the film showed president Bush being possessed by the devil.
I’ pet goat II is referring to I “am” pet goat II
- The goat in the intro symbolizes society. We are being hypnotized and controlled. The bar code 666 on its forehead explains this pretty well because there is a beast controlling our actions but we don’t know exactly what to do about it.
- A puppet-master with long finger nails, bloody finger and an S ring which is a sign for Satan. This symbolizes the beast and people behind the power.

Paperman
John Kahrs
Each day brings a new experience. From the film, Fate has brought the two together. The film provides many symbolic details, but among them there are two significant keys that I believe play the most controversial role throughout this movie and they are paper/wind and Lipstick/kiss mark.
- Throughout this film when paying closely attention, you notice how the wind and paper is always what leads them to notice each other all three times, at the beginning, the building window, and when reunited at the end. The wind and paper seem to serve as a guide.
- The kiss mark contains a hidden internal meaning when thinking about it. The red kiss marked on the guy’s paperwork as a way of telling him that one deserves what one gets as if it were his test score mark. It is a way of her telling him that she is the one that he deserves, and of course the kiss mark can serve as a sealing stamp. In other word, it is official that they will be together.

Taking Pictures
Simon Taylor
The interests that are commonly shared are the essential components to greater interaction and the connection to others.
- Sharing an interest in wanting to take a picture of the dove will help create a good relationship.
- According to the Biblical story ( Genesis 8:11), a dove was released by Noah after the flood in order to find land; it came back carrying an olive branch in its beak, telling Noah that, somewhere, there was land. Christians used Noah’s dove as a peace symbol.
- Dove symbolizes love, grace, divinity, promise, and holiness. In this context, the dove is the Holy Spirit messenger that will bring these two people together through love and they will live together peacefully.
