Film Inspiration

Illusionist

-visual enironment


9 (movie)
Some of my inspiration is from the film 9, it has the overall feel of what I want to achieve. One of my favourite scene is definately the opening scene, shows a little of the creator at work. Here is a video just to show you:

-storytelling

A bugs Life

-visual environment
-scale and proprtion of small bugs/beings

A lot of the questions/problems I have, were answered and solved after watching A Bug's Life.

I found this film very inspirational for the undergoing project, from character designs to environment development. I would say that this film has given me the most inspiration, for what I would like to achieve.

E on project

Today lecture was indeed a few people from e-on, asking for our help as young designers, to create an intersting video for their company. Has much as I would like to be apart of this project, I dont really have a team. Besides I have never spoken to any of my classmates, so I think it will be a little awkward to approach them now. You may think i'm wrong but im a very shy person, so trying to get someones attention doesnt quite work for me..so maybe next time I'll have grown much more confidence and get more involved in opportunies.

Back 2 basics

OK so it seems I have gone back to selecting one of the films off the given list, the reason for this is that I can not find a script to work from. So instead I have chosen to do 'Frankenstein', which I will be sticking to as I need to move on to designing.

Although I really wanted to do 'the illusionist, I think choosing 'Frankenstein' I can still create this scenery I have in mind. To be honest a lot of my setting ideas for 'the illusionist' can still be used for frankenstein, they both include an obsession, a principle of life, chemistry/philosophy, and both films include an fascinated creation or creations in the case of 'the illusionist'.

So now, as I dont quite remember the story of frankenstein I'll have to re-watch the film to get a good idea of what's involved and get a good understanding of the film, whilst also capturing any emotions I can incorporate into my animation.

Script/Film Ideas

Right so I now have a few films in mind, here I will state the names of each and give a short description of why I would like to interpretate this film.


My first choice is 'The Illusionist'.
great film, very interesting...As well as this film having a reasonable storyline to work from, I do enjoy the settings of this film.
I think this will be my chosen choice because I can connect it with animation being made up of illusions

second is the animé 'Bleach'
an animé series I have officially become obsessed with, and has everything I'm looking for when it comes to expression, emotion and conflict.




There are a few other film ideas, that I will try and post up later.

Moving on

OK so there is another brief...to interpretate a script. I found this very interesting to undertake as it is my first time approaching this type of task. Although I don't have to choose any of the scripts given there are three to start with, which are: The Matrix, Fantastic Voyage and Frankenstein.


The Matrix









Fantastic Voyage













Frankenstein









From the films stated above, I have only seen two of them, The Matrix being complex to fully understand and Frankenstein which is reasonably interesting. So for now,I consider to choose a script of my own choice.

I would like to interpretate a script which involves emotion, expression and conflict. so I'll keep this in mind when choosing my script.
