Im not being too ambitious, am I?

I've said most of my ideas repeatedly on this blog, but I guess I haven't really considered how I'm going to execute them. 

I've mentioned before how I wanted to make the B-roll look like an old arcade game. I'm not an animator, but I am willing to learn how to do some quick pixel art for the project. In the process of looking for tutorials, I actually found this video, and from the thumbnail, it seems like the exact vision I had. I wish it showed how to do a transition to turn something pixelated on screen but if anything I can add a cross dissolve to make them blend into each other. 

Additionally, I mentioned how I wanted it to seem like someone was playing the video game in an arcade, so I found a tutorial on how to place video on different surfaces. 

Squid Game Challenge

The way I want to execute this is sort of like how the reality Tv show "Squid Game Challenge" did in between scenes. They had multiple monitors of the mask people watching them like in the real show. Its a very clever way to cut between scenes and I think especially for the beginning, when I introduce the subjects as "characters" in this hypothetical game it would look very cool. Maybe on one of the parts it goes into a "training mode". Like i said in my last blog, the inspiration for this came from a documentary I recently watched called "Picaro: El Pequeño Nicolas", where they portrayed the life of the main subject through a board game. Below is a clip from the trailer showing some of the graphics they included. Of course, my level of expertise in the graphics field isn't as advanced, but I think I can do something similar in relation to video games. 

If you remember, a couple blogs ago I researched different social media platforms for docuseries and found "Worn Stories". I said I would watch it and I did. It was nothing like what I was expecting but it certainly a unique approach to a docuseries. The second episode has been my favorite so far I really recommend it. Anyhow, what I was getting to is that I was inspired by the intro to their episodes. This trailer shows sort of what it's like. 

The text is part of the clothes and tags, something I found super fun and creative. What I'm thinking is for my intro, I could have trophies and medals saying "First Place" and doing a match cut to introduce the show. I also am thinking it could be a seamless transition from pixels to real life. For example, I'd start the show as a video game and once the character retrieves the trophy in a short animation, it match cuts to real trophies and medals.
