Beginning Final Project

Ok so we now have our brief for our final project and we really hae total freedom to be able to do anything we want. So I will be creating a 3min short aimed at children aged around 8-13 but hopefully will also be appealling to an older age group. We did have a choice to work in group on this project but since doing all the past group project I want to be able to do this one on my own so I can have total controll and not have to relly on anyone else. So initiall ideas at this point is to create something that is quite funny and filled with little skits. I recently watched pixar short "Presto"





which is such a funny and well put together short, it really inspired me to create something which had the potential to have lots of little skits in it. I have been thinking about creating a story which could be converted into poem form and this could then be narrated over the top of the animation. It is an idea that im still playing around with and im not sure if will persue, I really enjoyed Dr Sues book when I was young so this was kinda an inspiration. Another big inspiration for my story would be Tim Burtons book, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy.

Its full of dark strange and twisted poems which I really love and has made me want to create a story which is a little bit dark. I have also recently watched Coraline which looked great and I really liked the colour scheme they used through out the film.
