Our Perception of Happiness and Sadness

    This art Piece was a variety  of different ideas fused into one. Since the last performance piece drew a lot of reactions and suggestion to take it one step further in bringing a happy part to it evoked this final piece. I wanted to keep a lot of the simplicity the first piece had, so i decided not to use any special effects and made this final just to capture one's perception of the happy and sad feelings.
    When going through i figure i now just mad a fine line between being sincere and just purely performing. Both scenes are actually sincere even though maybe not in the moment. The sad part in contrast with the happy is trying to illustrate the idea that when even though we have bad times a happy moment is never too far away. This is why most people take pictures of their happy moments in life, it is something to be captured but most of the time reality hits us with the sad truth that not everything moment in life is nice and good. The Happy part is in stop motion effect because like i said earlier they are things we want to capture and because we can't capture everything, we almost try to freeze frame these moments. The sad part is in normal motion but, it is trying to illustrate what raw emotion should look like. The question is now how do we tell someone is really happy or in pain. As shown sadness can be performed and still have the same effect on people as if it's really. There is a thing line between a performance and real emotion but, i believe really sad is gotten by the way a person perceives it and the same goes for happiness.
