The Illusion of MONEY, TIME & EGO - Alan Watts

# data[].attributes.body
There where many things that were altered to my creative process and I'm glad that I didn't stick to. I wasn't fully aware of what message I wanted to say in the beginning but now I love the outcome of the whole project.
meaning:
I feel as if the whole project in the beginning gave a horrific outlook on psychedelics and would have scared the viewers. the whole experience is determined on the subject and there point of view at the time. From my research on the subject ego-death, it is scary in the moment but it give clarity onto ones  present self. So the the new discussion I want from my viewers is to be safe with drugs and to knows ones self and ones limits.
typography:
Honestly looking at the logo now I feel like it complete doesn't suit the vibe of my piece. So I changed it as you can see on the right. Its also in the the start credits.
colour scheme:
My animations have turned gears in my head. The simplicity of blues can tell a story, the beauty of the high sky and scary depths of the ocean. This is also much of a metaphor for keeping calm, letting nature take its place instead of focusing and chase this imagine.

I was pretty last minute in the way of uploading and embedding the video cot editor, adding them to the zip files and summiting it but I smashed it out before my lesson on the 24th.

# data[].attributes.body
Animation was pretty easy but had some tedious. I unfortunately didn't put my little character animations in.
But considering it has a effect to the piece I'm glad I took the time to make it.

Joel Bell came over my house and jammed out some recordings. So much so that he went over the time limit, that's why in the video it has a bad transition sound at one section. But i was still in love.

# data[].attributes.body
In editing I found that I had way to much content and that i had to cut a whole lot more than I wanted.

When finding a royalty free music i struggled, nothing suited my taste. That's when I remember someone from my old school has gotten really into indie music that has psychedelic feelings.

filming week: . This promotional video was extremely fun to make, filming was a breeze as my friends were the actors. we got all the filming done within 3-4 hours while having fun and had celebratory drinks afterwards. The actors had good input in locations and character traits, The locations weren't completely set in stone but we found it fun going around Victor Harbor and discovering beautiful new places. And considering that the filming time I say that we did exceptionally well.

I was planning to film at the botanical gardens to get the alien, out of this world feeling. Due to the permit I found that student can film there for $50 and for insurance a following $250. With that information I decided that I could go film somewhere free and possibly easier to locate. I also finalised my actors and got a filming date, 06/05/2021. I pitched to my tutor a minute worth of film. I stated that I needed the extra time as it was a character arc and got the okay.

For the video are out of this world and are alien. We also associate psychedelics with bright colourful.
I will make the video:
- saturated colours with editing making everything new and beautiful, then turn to duller colours to convey fear and things getting worse.
(colour graduating from bright to terrifying)
- props that are bright and colourful. (vomit, blood, led lights)
- creatures that are kept within the colour scheme to keep the tone of out of this world
- drug; candy, Wizz fizz or something to keep the video light and fun, and to keep the audience thinking like in Don't Hug Me I'm scared

the colour theme is reds and greens.
red- excitement, youth and bold
this is for the side of the video that expresses the new experience for a young adult
green- peaceful, growth, health
this is for the side of the video that expresses being connected with the world and the growth of the character.

The set will be the botanical gardens most of the background will be green. Therefore I will use red, greens complimentary colour to make the focal point visual to the audience.

In week three I watch Vsauce and his explanation with psychedelics which made me go research some scholar sources of the subject

The Psychedelic Experience - Mind Field S2 (Ep 2)

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3lWVLuc6CE )

- tell the scientific reasonings behind it
- Vsauce takes ayahuasca "the vine of the soul" which has DMT, Dimethyltryptamine. DMT is similar to serotonin which is a neurotransmitter, stored in the brain to send messages throughout the body.
- DMT is a spiritual experience that make one become one with the universe.
-  research in universities are done to show that it has beneficial use in addiction, depression and cancer trauma.

-Psychedelic don't increase brain activity but decreases in certain areas. in doing that it causes ego dissolution which is also called Ego death.
-Ego is what separates you from everything else makes you significant in your own Story. Psychedelics makes your ego dissolve which causes you to detach from your identity, making you a naked being. When this experience happens it can be either taken two ways; 1. that you're stuck in that headspace that there's no purpose for you. 2. you feel more connected to people and nature.
- default mode network relate to the self or ego. when under drugs the network is compromised. but come back after affect have worn off and becomes more integrated and connected with itself.
- you can also ask questions to yourself that have been dangling at the back of you head. this is mindful where you are confronting your inner self and change bad habits

- it is a shamanic ritual that dates back to 4000 years
- the lesson? "i felt so small and so humble. honestly I liked it. I wasn't afraid of it. i was glad to be reminded that I'm weak."
" the experience amplified everything im concerned about way above what would be a normal amount to care about it."
will i remeber to apply that

- DAYDREAM

after the experience
- when doing it you have to be open and not resist yourself
resisting may scare you and lose the experience. one may learn to control there anxiety and selfishness but the ones that completely forget about it are the ones that more forward with good info.

I'm pretty confident in for what this course will hold, i have done a dozen creative pieces and like spreading my creative mind in how i can communicate a message. i have not done coding before though, im not afraid of asking questions so I'm sure ill be fine.

This series shows a slow progress of horror and stating a message in a forceful way. The images on display are graphic and doesn't directly tell what the topic question is, in fact the message for the videos are conspires. The artists of the videos have stated that whatever the message you think is the topic is, is corrected. I consider this to be extraordinary, even within art we are told what everything is supposed to mean or what the artist thinks of their own work is right. Whereas this gives back the creative side of thinking. discussing what your feeling about the work and looking at others opinions and taking it in. Everyone has their own voice in this world and we should not be afraid to share it to others.
The show also has multimedia's and different art within, such as; live action, animation, 3-D animation, puppeteering and mascots. I found this gave the content a kid show vibe even with the graphic visuals.
- I wanted to use multimedia within my film; animation over live action. This will show the affects of the drugs as an alien experience that wouldn't be seen in the everyday, while also giving it a childlike wonder.
- The shots are impeccably timed and spaced out, with the idea that the horror is only going down a rabbit hole.
Using the technique will show the fact that psychedelics are a pecking roller-coaster until it goes down. As each time the subject takes the drug things will only progress badly.

1. Ayahuasca: Pharmacology, neuroscience and therapeutic potential
Ayahuasca is made from a psychotropic plant tea, this tea contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT).
history
it was a blessing for the indigenous cultural of America's as it showed there world view for their religious ceremonies and rituals. But was deliberately disappeared due to other religious morals such as Christianity.
in the amazon rituals are still maintained with Ayahuasca which has a mixture of up to 90 different native plants.
Luis Eduardo Luna discovered in the 1980s that there are 70 different names for Ayahuasca within different cultures. but again knowledge has been lost.

chemistry
globally Psychotria viridis is used in ayahuasca tea, also mushrooms which also could be used on their own for a  lower stimulated use. these plants are similar to serotonin which is a neurotransmitter, stored in the brain to send messages throughout the body.

2. Finding the self by losing the self: Neural correlates of ego‐dissolution under psilocybin
ego dissolution happens in the act of morning taking psychedelic such as psilocybin, DMT and LSD. How eager has a mental impact on us it monitors our look, recognition, in speech  on the world, this makes us feel going to ship of oneself. We have an eager conscience that has five different parts;
Vitality - which is our awareness of existence
Activity - awareness of 1's own performance
Consistency - awareness of 1's own senses as coherent living unit
Demarcation - being a individual from the outside world
identity - I'm the narrator

ego part of the brain system functions our reality.
but once taking psychedelic it has the affect of depersonalization,

Taking away the 5 egos causing ego death/dissolution.
As some subjects describe that they;
“I lost all sense of ego” (r = 0.82)
“I experienced a loss of separation from my surroundings” (r = 0.76)
“It felt like I was merging with my environment” (r = 0.72)
“the experience had a spiritual/mystical quality” (r = 0.81)
“the experience had a supernatural quality” (r = 0.69)

ego‐dissolution causes subject to be isolated within communication, as those statements above show their feelings and how it can leave an affect of shock within. People that have either a good or bad experience to reflect on. How both significant and insignificant they are in the world and how they contribute. One can either say they don't and need a change or they do and look at what they are doing as a good thing.
Ego Dissolution shows ones soul and disregards all other features.
Psychedelic heighten sense, giving the mental state of the subject their outlook on what they see about the world and themselves. So when they see their conscientiousness, mentally they ask if they are happy?

3. Psychedelic Information Theory

fractals are computer generated by a computer but show the nature example of a psychedelic hallucination (shown in figure 1).
so if we think about source 2 the human imagination is vas under psychedelics, world is infinite and your one with it and you within its cycle. It makes a paradoxes where you see a series of repetition, such as loops and spirals. The brain is adjusted to exponential thinking of a timeless, transpersonal perspective of a fractal rendering of time and space.

Therefore the mind follows the spirals making the subject focus on but then frame is overlaps loop.

The purpose of this video is to discuss the limitations of psychedelic drugs and how to control the affects it has on you. This isn't to stop anyone from trying but to give then a question that they already might be asking; when is enough, enough?

o   A$AP Rocky - L$D (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx4JEBwVlXo)
- The throbing lights is visually realistic for people that have done psychodelic as there are sensory overload within light.
- the twisting transitions also help the

o   Tame Impala - Elephant (https://youtu.be/LnKUD_OztRE)
- has three translucent subjects which helps explain the looping affect that is show in the scholar sources(3). making it realistic.
- bright rapid lights that also visually shows sensory overload.
