So I checked through my unfinished drawings and found a few little cuties that I never posted back in the day, and Horsy was kind enough to let me stick em up for adoption!
This guy is the third of five, 'throwback' Cookie equids. I think this dude might be the only equid I've created who has no white on him at all? Perhaps!
This guy is dedicated to film and music, and to try for him, you can do one of a few things...
1) Write me a synopsis (what happens in it/ a brief summary) of a film or television programme which you think he would enjoy, or which you personally like. If you can, please also include a short clip or a gif or series of gifs of a favourite scene, be it for its cinematography, acting, humour-- anything, and tell me why you chose that scene.
2) Write a synopsis of a music video which you think he would enjoy, or which you personally like. Please link me to the video and tell me what aspects of it attract you (or would attract him) to it.
or
3) Compose your own piece of music or create your own short film (this could be comprised of a series of your own original photos to make a stop motion or similar too) based on him, his experiences, or something that he reminds you of. Please stick to the five minutes and under mark! You may sing or write wordless music or film, it could be narrated by text, you could include a spoken poetry reading, or you could make 'video art'-- artistic expressive film or similar, etc. It's free rein! But it must all be your own original work. //By original, I mean, you must comprise the film yourself. You may use pre-existing clips, sound effects and songs (unless you've chosen to compose your own music, in which case you don't really need to think about video at all, and could just submit a soundcloud link), but the concepts must be your own. Extra kudos if you use your own video clips, effects and music!
In addition you'll need to name him and add a personality.
You have Five weeks (ends 3/10/14 (third of October)). I may add extensions if it's a popular request. Edits and wips are allowed! Please only use your own ideas!

Personality: Nobody is, in general, a child at heart. His imagination runs wilder than any you've known before. He is always found lost in thought and because of this, he has become anti social. He has virtually no social skills and therefore barely ever talks. If someone confronts him with a decision he will shy away and avoid t at all costs. He is extremely observant of everything going on around him however he doesn't trust himself with decisions and reactions. Pushing himself to always make the correct decision has worn him down since he is so hard on himself. When de does decide to open his eyes and love in the moment, he devotes himself to that moment, whether it be happy, sad, exciting, ect.
Synopsis: Mr. Nobody is a tale about choice. Nemo, a nine year old boy, has been thrust into a position where he must make an impossible decision - to choose between his mother and father. In the seconds preceding the rest of his life he wonders where each choice will take him. The forces of the universe working to bring about total chaos are counteracted by this boy's overactive imagination. The dilemma that causes the films main problem (not knowing the future) once solved makes it all the more difficult - "I don't know the future, therefore I cannot make a decision. Now that I know the future I still cannot make one". The eloquent interplay between philosophical lifestyle and what forges reality, is epitomized by the constant change in story line, between young boy, adolescent man, and mature man. Corresponding to each particular stage is a certain soundtrack. The movie takes a four-dimensionalists view of the nature and existence of life in the universe. Each decision thus branching off creating an entirely separate alternative universe. Mr. Nobody raises many ontological arguments about the subjective nature of time. How actions have universal consequences, how the past inevitably shapes the future in a very impacting way - every single choice, no matter its simplicity or complexity can make, alter or change a lifetime. The film also makes good use of chaos theory, string theory and the butterfly effect to accentuate the lack of control we as individuals possess. Often at each stage of his life there is a scene where Nemo is subject to the whims of chance, often plunging into water, a place where we lacks all control. This is a visual symbol of the powerlessness attributed to the human condition. The aforementioned theories are used to compound reality in the film, it is why the smoke never goes back into the cigarette, time is always moving in one direction. At the end when you assume that the universe is on the precipice of ultimate chaos, time halts, and it begins to reverse. Thus signalling the absolute freedom Nemo had been seeking - being able to live a life without choice, for while you never choose all things remain possible. There will be no causal relationship i.e. cause and effect because you never set in motion a catalyst. And so the tale of Mr. Nobody reflects a life of choices, whether or not we made the correct choice and what would happen if we could go back and change them. In the reveal Mr. Nobody age 118 states that it doesn't matter what we choose, because each choice, once made has just as much significance as any alternate choice. The film portrays a life where we are all subject to chance, to the dimensions by which we construct our reality (height, length, width and time), and to the imagination of our former selves. And once the boy Nemo knows the outcomes of either choice, he instinctively opts for another. He chooses the path least travelled, the one that yields the greatest love, and in a very romantic convoluted way, this seems to be the message of the film, to search for and ultimately choose love and happiness above all.
Link: The Choice Scene
Why did you pick it? I chose this scene because it represents what the entire film is based around: the choice. It shows to me personally that we always have to make a choice, even when it's impossible to make one, and to not fear the future that comes with it.

I love warrior cats, marvel rivals, nature documentaries and rocky horror!
