The Persistance of Dream stopmotion animation (by Bezmo871)

This is a video I made that was originally a 200+ page flipbook I made for a book binding class. The concept or idea behind this was that I was trying to convey the theme of common reoccuring dreams that the average person will experience at least once in their lives. The video/flipbook is broken down into three dreams: 1) walking on solid ground (reality or dreams of real-life) 2) Flying in the sky (dreams of flying or something more surreal and magical) 3) Falling into Darkness (dreams where you are falling, or basically, a nightmare). Inbetween each dream stage, there is the sleeping and awakening phases where the eye opens slowly and closes. This is a representation of sleep cycles.

In this Video, I actually took pictures of my eye opening and closing and photoshopped it using a few brushes i got off of deviantart (thank you wonderful deviants who i am about to name!)

Footprint Brush : Chain
Clouds: KerovinBlack
Eggshells: Green Aleydis_Stock
Wings: Wilw
Darkness Splatter: Yume Dust
People and Cityscape: N/A

To all the mentioned Deviants above, thank you so much for creating these wonderful brushes! All the credit for these brushes featured throughout the video goes to these guys and the ones who’s names/identity I couldnt locate sadly ):

Also, thank you to Clint Mansell for composing such beautiful works of musical art. I used his “Summer Overture” version of the well known and loved theme from his “Requiem for a Dream” score, in my video. Its a goregeous piece that is both mystifying and mysterious. It sets the mood perfectly for my video.

The rest of this project though is all self produced. So all things EXCEPT FOR THE PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES AND THE MUSIC are © Bezmo871, Basma Abouelenein
Thank you and enjoy the video! Leave me comments back on what you think of it :)!!

Quasimodo the Quasi. He’s my homeboy :)He is a quirky little character design I came up with this past year in digital painting. He is made up of a bunch of different animal parts. I tried to make him look as cohesive, functional and wholesome as possible. He is part chinchilla, lemur, parrot, bat, jerboa, victorian crowned pigeon anddd I almost gave him tiger stripes then changed my mind at the last minute. He’s a creepy little bastard but I love him <3
