The object I chose to work with for this assignment was my toothbrush. Initially, I was considering several other mundane objects I use every day without thinking much about, such as my house keys, but in the end the toothbrush seemed to make the most sense in regard to the project and the specific task at hand. The words that I got were Spread and Remove. I chose to work primarily with "remove" as I could not think of much to do within the parameters of this assignment for "spread." I was initially going to videotape myself performing another action, such as opening my door with my keys, and have them disappear much like the toothbrush in the video does, but in the end I ran into problems with any other idea I came up with that I wasn't sure how I would work around. Although the video is hopefully pretty self explanatory, the idea behind it is that while brushing my teeth one routine morning, my toothbrush was "removed" from my hand, but that do to the fact that it is early in the morning, and that toothbrushing is such a routine and monotonous task that I don't really even think about any more, I did not even notice that it was missing and continued to carry on with my task. I took several videos of myself brushing my teeth and had a slightly different video in mind, i.e. having the brush disappear and reappear throughout the clip, but in the end the version I landed with seemed to make the most sense and best fit the requirements of the assignment.
