Animatic with Sound

Storyboard!

Having the wall of pictures be in a mental institution, or hospital- white walls-simple

I am thinking of maybe adding a link between the first few photographs- to convey that there is one person telling the story-
maybe a flying silouette of a duck going through only the frames

Animatic 1

Ideas of How I would create the photographs

like one photograph would be the rubber ducky scene,
but it would be like photos of rubber ducks then cut out and placed on
a photo of cement then like maybe ill spill coffee on it and the print
it out and crumple it and scan it and print it out again and then burn
the edges and then scan again and then print it again and then get
coffee cup rings on it and then scan it and then like add grain in
photoshop and maybe another element---

Intro to Californication- using light and silhouettes to show movement in the frame

Being John Malkovich Title Sequence (idea for using frames)

How about if I have a huge composition with different scenes in different parts so I have to use the camera to go around the white background

I love how this Casino Royale movie opening goes from live action to animation. I feel like I need to think of a more clever idea of how to get into the animation world from the begining of my mental institution scene

Progress

I am still stuck on solidifying my script. It is making me nervous for my overall progress for midterm evaluation time. This weekend, I have to finish everything and obtain more of an idea of what I am trying to achieve.
I need to:

FINISH SCRIPT, breakdown and outline
Pinpoint a style I want to achieve- live motion or drawing animation

DUCK FEET

NEW IDEA-- using the visual of duck feet walking through the mental institution

Love this Opening!

It's so cool how they were able to keep one style throughout the piece and the theme definitely makes me think of high school

I spoke to Myles about my project last week and he gave me an idea of using a some sort of frame- something that blocks the full picture from the eye- like a grid.

I was thinking using florescent lights
This gives a feel of being locked in somewhere-

WALKING TOUR

Museum of Natural History

Holden went to visit the Museum of Natural History-- was interested in the exhibitions- mostly the mummification process.
Mummys=staying the same/preservation=Holden
Contradiction- Mummy vs. Holden / Past vs. Present

using metaphors to show what show is about but not giving it away

Editing Style- contradiction between Facade and Reality

Reflections

Blurry reflections on metal surfaces: 

Blurry silhouette (schiztophrenia)

John Cage

Myles told me about this composer- This song starts and ends with the same tone and in the middle feels like you are going thru a journey- The way my title sequence arc is.

Idea of Dripping

Dripping water in an empty old, dirty faucet = Alone

Dripping silver morphing into Rorschach Ink blot

Rorschach Inkblots

- Interesting concept to think about: Forming Rorschach blots out of organic materials
