Over the past week, I have mainly been focusing on getting
my dissertation sorted and ready to go, however I have also been throwing some
ideas around for my minor/major project. These are my initial Ideas and
thoughts on what I want to do, along with some reference links and study
pieces. There is not too much to go on at the moment as I am still refining ideas.
Minor/Major Project Ideas
Initial Notes
After the slight failure of my final first year project I
really wanted to create an animation that nails a creepy, horror aesthetic.
Originally I had an idea of conveying a child’s fear of the dark and how things
are seen differently at a young age. The story would focus on how the room
around the character warps and changes into a more menacing environment.
After doing some research around this topic I remembered a
story from when I was very young. My sister woke up screaming in the night as
apparently the shadows in our room where laughing at her. With my fear of the
dark at that age it was an incredibly terrifying moment that I now feel could
become a fairly interesting animation to create.
I started by creating a quick mood board to try and show
what types of environments and characters that I wanted to use as sources or
inspiration for my animation.
The character's shown in this image are from a fairly new game called Little Nightmares, a game which looks like something Tim Burton would create if he was a video game designer. I love the style and point of view of the child, where everything is much larger then yourself.
After completing this I went and started working on a style
for my Sisters character. This is still and ongoing thing and at the moment I
am not too happy with what I have created. The weekend will be nailing down my
style and working on a script, after having a chat with Alan on Friday.
