New Ideas
January 22, 2016
For the final video, we need to work with a crew and we are free to do whatever we want.Over the past 3 weeks my ideas have evolved from a cooking show to an animation.
My original plan was a cooking show for students, but this quickly turned out not to be something I would have enjoyed making. In every new project I do I look to learn something new, but a cooking show did not seem like the right type of format for that. Instead animation is something I've not yet done and something I really want to learn. I'm acutely aware that animation is a very time-intesive process, which is why I started early with creating my pitch and part of the treatment.
The current idea for my longer video has to do with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Although I am acutely aware of how many things have already been made with Alice as a basis, I hope to give it a new or at least original interpretation. The medium I'm planning to use is photography, specifically to make a stop motion animation with real people and live-size objects. Over these pictures I plan to digitally animate important objects and images from the story of Alice. As for sound, I'm hoping to get someone to read some voiceover lines, directly taken from the book. I've been reading the book an making notes for the past week to get my ideas more clearly. The idea that popped into my head while doing this is to try and only use the sentences that Alice thinks or speaks in the book and no others.
Theresa was interested in pitch and added some of her own idea to my. She asked me if I would be interested in using building and places around London and Kingston as backgrounds to the animation, and maybe the posibility of transforming those buildings and places with animation to make them more like wonderland. I liked her idea and we will probably work together to figure it out further.
