Daydream Video Project Brainstorm blog

My idea for my video is going to have to do with my current gluten and dairy free diet and how hard it is. I recently found out I had Hashimoto's which is an autoimmune disorder and gluten and dairy apparently make it 10x worse. Because of this, I am currently trying to completely cut out both dairy and gluten but it is not as easy as I thought. I was already a picky eater before so finding foods to eat now is even more difficult. The other difficult thing about it is that everyone around me is constantly eating dairy and gluten which makes it very hard for me. My concept of the video would be to have the dairy and gluten "haunt" me in a way. I will be in a sort of hallucination and all I every see and hear is dairy and gluten. It will be like an inside of my head sort of hallucination or nightmare that I constantly deal with for every meal.

Story Board:

- start with me feeling hungry and going into the kitchen

- I can open the pantry or fridge maybe and that is when the nightmare begins

- in the nightmare all I see are things that I can't have (bread, pasta, cake, ice cream, etc)

- I can then close the pantry out of fear of what is happening and when I turn around and see all of my roommates eating I go back into the nightmare and all I see are people eating what I can't eat and trying to make me eat it (in a dramatic and scary way)

- once I get back out of the nightmare no one will be in the kitchen and I just grab an apple or something for dinner then that is what I eat to end it
