In this assignment, we are required to come up with an original story line and produce a video with the use of stop motion.

For my video, I decided to tell a story of my experience with social anxiety. When I first started being an artist, I represented myself with a fox as I could not draw humans at first.  Over time, this fox slowly puts on a horned skull as I started to realize how reserved I was.

This video shows how I struggle to communicate and get closer with new people. Sometimes, I wish to say more but the thoughts interrupt. Sometimes, I wish to show that I am paying attention to what they say but I can't look them in the eye. I've pushed many people away, especially when I feel like they think that I'm not worth their time. I used to be quite a loud and friendly person (believe it or not) and ironically, my name, or so I've been told, means 'friendly' in Arabic.

Even so, I still have a group of my closest friends. I don't approach people anymore but these specific friends approached me, represented by the bird in the video. They took their time with me, forcing themselves into my life until I decided to take them in, though rather hesitantly at first.
