My Aim
My Aim
I aim to create a short animation that will focus on the engagement of two characters that contrast (a young boy and an old man). The theme for the project is story telling. The audience will follow the animation through a series of stories that are told by one of the main characters by using either voice over techniques to avoid problems such as lip sync or no dialog with music e.g father and daughter (2005) Michael Dudok De wit. The animation will also deal with the sub-theme of contrasting characters in confined spaces e.g. Pitbull http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/A9451839 which could also allow me to inject comedy.
I have chosen this aim because i feel i need to develop my character and narrative skills. This will also demonstrate existing skills such as composition, illustration and landscape. For my target audience I will be focusing on an older audience mature teenagers --> adults.
I will record my development by keeping an RVJ and personal blog,

Principles
Exaggeration
Narrative / Storytelling - make sure my work is well received
Characterisation
Inspiration
Sean Tan - The Arrival (Storytelling without word)
Shaun Tan - The lost thing (Visual Style)
Andy Whiteley - Lloyds TSB advert (Visual)
Waking Life - Richard Linklater (Storytelling + Visual Style)
Experiments. Character rigging tests
