My initial idea was to turn myself into a bat somehow (because I'm so goth). I toyed with ideas of just my head being a bat, and also creating large bat wings and hanging from a tree upside down. I really would have liked to continue with this idea as I think it would have been fun to do. I didn't pursue it because at the time I didn't have sufficient material to make the wings and I thought getting into a tree upside down could end badly.
My second idea was based around the fact that I wish I could change my hair at the drop of my hat. I envisioned a gif with changing hairstyles - which would be made out of paper, like a hair mask. As I didn't have any gif making programs on my computer I made a video instead, which allowed me to add a fun soundtrack to go with the imagery. Though I still used a series of photographs to give the product an animated look, which I really like.
I found I had trouble affixing the hair masks to my head, in the end I created a contraption out of a headband and a piece of card (like an angler fish arrangement; I did not take photos I wish I had) which the mask could be sellotaped to so it hovered in just about the right place.
I think the idea was good and overall I'm pleased with the outcome because it's amusing. The crafting of the masks and general preparation could have been a lot better though as my real hair is too visible in some shots. Because of this I ended up editing some of the images so the hair was less distracting.
