1.1 Identify and Plan a Creative Media Project
Project Proposal
Rationale
I have chosen to pursue animation as a career path because of my deep passion for art and drawing, as well as my desire to utilize my creativity to bring my ideas to life. The process of animating a still image and imbuing it with movement and vitality is particularly intriguing to me. Ultimately, my goal is to succeed in creating my own animated works.
Concept
My project concept involves researching techniques for drawing and shaping bodies and transforming them into animated figures. My goal is to learn how to create compelling animations that effectively convey emotions and tell a story through movement. Whether it's a brief or extended clip, my aim is to produce a character that can evoke a range of emotions in viewers. The reason behind my pursuit of this project is my deep admiration for Disney animations and anime productions, both of which fascinate me. I'm constantly impressed by the level of skill and effort that goes into creating even the briefest animated scenes, and I aspire to create similarly stunning works.
What I'm Doing
I am currently engaged in the process of re-illustrating one of my favourite Sanrio clips, with the intention of infusing my own unique artistic style into the project. While I will be retaining certain elements from the original clip, I am also introducing my own creative flair and making changes as necessary to achieve the desired result. By incorporating my personal style into the illustration, I hope to produce an end product that is both distinctive and compelling.
