Tweet by SpringaldJack: My brain is not a cooperative brain.

URWUT = You Are What You Tweet. This is a project where small multi media pieces are created inspired by people’s tweets. Each piece works to encompass the mood, feeling, meaning, or moment captured by the individual tweet.

Each piece’s approx. runtime is determined by the length of the tweet. Since twitter enforces a 140 character limit, the pieces are rooted in brevity. This tweet was 36 characters, so the video runs approx. 36 seconds.

The tweet: my brain is not a cooperative brain.

I loved this tweet for its playful simplicity and childlike logic. So, I decide to animate it. I wanted it to feel light-hearted. It seemed as if the tweet’s originator intended it to be both silly matter of fact, so I tried to let that tone ring true in the visual aesthetic created by the paper’s texture and rough edges.
