WEEK 1
                
Task:
We are to create a self directed project with the theme: Mental Health.

Medium:
First of all, I decided the medium of my project. I specialize in animation but so far i haven't been able to animate any 2d animation for degree. So I decided to do frame by frame animation. But using grease pencil to do so for extra challenge.

Topic:
After thinking, I thought of my friend who suffers a subtype of OCD, false memory. It is a less known type of OCD because when you talk about OCD, you think about germaphobes or perfectionists. That is why I chose to do this. I consulted my friend and they were eager to help me bring this to life as well. To educate people about this mental health issue. 

What is False Memory OCD?
False memory OCD is a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) where people experience intrusive doubt about whether past events really occurred. Unlike ordinary forgetfulness, this OCD subtype causes persistent anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive checking about memories that may have never happened. Research shows that more than 30% of people report experiencing symptoms of false memory OCD.
