1. Moving Text - Using a Lite-Brite animated text to illustrate how a typically mundane message can achieve more impact through light, colors and movement. The animation can show the idea of people being drawn to light like a moth to a flame. This can also serve as a comment on how society is susceptible when it comes to the presentation of a message. A message can become a persons mantra or reality if it is presented to them in the right light (pun intended).
2. Using cutouts of characters from 8bit games - The characters from the old 8bit games can come alive and leap out of the screen. This is a role reversal of sorts. The stigma of people who are addicted to video games is that their reality is within the games they play. They retreat to the gaming world to escape their reality. If the characters within the games felt the same and escaped into the gamers reality it could serve as a satirical comment on the hermit style lives of the people who play video games. This can also be a comment on the importance of removing oneself from a tyrannical situation. The 8bit character is breaking free from the control of the gamer.
3. Chalk board drawings - The juxtaposition of the things students think or dream about can morph out of the mundane arithmetic or text that usually plagues the chalk board in a school. This can be a commentary on the reality of the material that is being digested by a typical student. When people read, their mind sometimes wonders and even though there is a conscience act of reading, only the dreaming is being digested. The illustrations can be of things that illustrate freedom in contrast to the feeling of the shackles of institutionalized learning.
