The Animated Self

Who are you? What do you want to be? How can you show this in your work? Where do you want youwork exist? Produce a short 15-30 second animation that is 1920x1080, Full HD in H264 .mov format. The work you produce should reflect your emerging interest in animation, an awareness of the professionalaspect of your creative ambitions and your PPP research from this year. This is an opportunity for you toconsider what have you enjoyed? Where do your strengths lie? What do you want to push further throughmore play and testing? In exploring these questions you should demonstrate an investigation of the relationshipbetween:Context / Function.  Narrative, Sequence, Satirical, Persuasive, Promote, Agitate, SubvertMethodology. 2d Traditional, 2d Digital, Stop Motion.Visual Language.  Line quality, Shape, Texture, Composition, Colour, Abstract, Realism

Your own personal development as an individual and as an animator is affected by all aspects of your life. This is an opportunity to reflect on the experiences from the past nine months that have informed the decisions that you have made/are making about your future development. Consider the following questions as a starting point for your work:What do you want to animate? (This is the difficult bit!)What excites you? What are you passionate about? What interests you? What do you want to know more about? What do you want to say? Who do you want to speak to? Consideration of context (see above) may inform your decisionIs there a subject tackled earlier in the year that you’d like to return to?Do you have personal interests that you’d like to make some work about?Perhaps you’d like to explore a subject in more detail that you know little about?This will require RESEARCH, INTERROGATION and SPECULATIVE QUESTIONING through reading, drawing and reflecting. Challenge yourself! Look to innovate. Don’t rely on what you can already do.

Possible things to look at;
Character design
  - Evolution of historical costume
  - Non-sexist sci/fi/fantasy armour! fightscene showcasing PROPER armour? ---> do I have the skills to show this?
  - Some kind of own designs based on that of an animated world already (or a live action world that I can turn animated)
 - Motion comic involving one of the above

Background design (panning through various backgrounds - linking them all together is if they were all connected, around the world? Maybe rounded, like on top/around the world?)
