As a group, Me, Reke, Kirstie and Theo searched for content that we could draw inspiration from for our own piece; we felt that it was important to first define the art style that we would use to create our short. We used websites such as 'YouTube', 'Vimeo' and 'Short of the Week' to gather material for research. These were some of our favourite shorts:
'When I Grow Up- The Walt Disney Company'
'Clouds- Sam Miller'
'Un Tour de Manège- Gobelins'
We found ourselves being drawn to shorts that were targeted towards a younger audience and featured children as the protagonist of the story. We liked the idea of a childish, heart-warming tale showing some form of journey or adventure. We also liked the pieces with strong visual appeal that combined bold colours, simple shapes and interesting textures. We decided that we wanted to create our short in 2D, intending to use programs such as 'Paintool Sai', 'Adobe Illustrator', 'Adobe Photoshop', 'Premiere Pro' and 'After Effects' to achieve our desired look. We also wanted to place a lot of emphasis on our stylised look through appealing environment and character design.
We decided to record our response to these videos in the form of a basic brain storm sheet outlining the main themes and features that we wanted to achieve with our project piece:
