Description

What I’m looking to accomplish with creating a short animated movie is to explore the software and tools I have available to me to transform my characters, story ideas and sketches into a short narrative. I will be doing extensive research about the process of classic animation, studying story-telling techniques, illustrations, and how to composite all the necessary design elements with computer software. With the grant provided I will be able conduct this research by reading the 16 requested books. From there I will be able to apply what I have learned from that research and apply it to my own creative project. I hope my passion for animation shows through during presentations of my short movie and that the audience will find their own interpretations and message in the final product. I believe I will be able to create a concept for the short film that will be something thought provoking and new to people.
