In this modal I am required to identify a substantial body of research and development work that will aid me in my Extended Practice project. And to do this I am required to produce a Rational that will give a detailed over view of my intended plan and serve as a 1st draft. here are the main areas of the Rational for Extended Practice.
RATIONALE
Question 2
Subjects and ThemesBroadly speaking what are you interested in exploring and why?
The subjects and themes I’ll be focusing on will on the lines of fairy tales, ie Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the three bears… the idea of joy, and childlike wonder. Imagination
Following the artefact for CoP I have grown more interested in the ideas of using [Hybrid] animation the use of 2d assets in 3d environment , or vice versa. So I would like to investigate and develop into the processes more,
just by doing a small 2 second animation “sneeze” using my character(Mika) and tracing over her (on physical paper then scanning the sheets in) gave it a messy yet nice appearance to the test.
Question 3
RationaleWhat you want to do during this module? Be as specific as you can at this moment in time.
If you plan on working on multiple briefs to demonstrate your practice, identify clearly each brief.
During this module I would like to expand in my hybrid animation tests used in CoP, and expand it into a micro series of [Hybrid] animations (2d drawn character + toon shaded characters on 3d backgrounds).
The set of micro animations will be 100% kid friendly, this means they will be the following:
-no real violence (ie sense of bloody injuries and cuts, or the use weapons like guns or knives)
-no bad langrage (no swearing or voices),
-possibly mild fantasy/comical threat, (IE Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, chase?)
Much like my last year’s attempt with Responsive: “Brothers revenge” when I tried to condense a story into one minute without using sounds (other than music and sounds) I would like to build on the idea of using only body language and sounds to enthuse the emotions and “voice” of the character(s) (much like silent movies, or Happy Tree Friends)
How the Micro Series will be done?
Much like in the Test animations for CoP, Mika (the character) will be doing some kind of activity in her room, (ie listening to music, drawing, or playing with a toy) when she picks up a new book, and upon reading it she is enveloped by a light emitting from the book , from here she will be
“teleported” into the books world, and her clothes will also change, in this case she will obtain a Red cape and hood (on screen?). From this point onwards it will be like a child’s attempt to re-create a scene Imagination Once the story has ended she will snap back to reality and place the book on her shelf with the other stories…
Question 4
Explain how this will be developing your Specialist Practice?
During this project(s) I will have made a small collection on animation that relies heavily on both 3d sets and 2d drawn characters. By doing this I will be able to further develop my animating and modelling skills as well as re visiting After Effects to re cap on masking, rotascoping and possibly 3d layers. In addition i should have also developed my drawing and story planning skills by this point.
