*My film, RAM* (Random Access Memory), speaks about becoming too reliant and emotionally attached to your personal computer. It is a playful exaggeration of my research on recent trends of dependency and attachment to PCs, found especially in the U.S. and UK children. Too many people in my generation are addicted to, dependant on, and attached to their computers and the Internet. Most of my friends use Internet language in their everyday conversations which I find very interesting, and oddly hilarious. The animation's storyline centers on the interaction between two boys, Mark and Tylr, whereas the technical focus is on the animation itself, particularly facial animation. The style is inspired by Japanese anime, which has already been applied to many technological and sci-fi series, and was born in a country famous for its technophilia and tendency to use technology for fun and companionship. The voice actors are children I overheard talking at a comic book store. * For more information visit http://caroline.youngandcreative.org/
