Research: Im here for the Plot (Plotting the Body)

Research: Plotting the Body Paragraph

I did update my question somewhat, as I am unsure if I want to continue with the uncanny valley:

Can I create short film using both 3D and 2D animation, to create an underground world in which my characters must gain a key Item to advance in their goal of getting to the surface world?

Body

·         Proposal of six arguments to support project questioning.

Isolated communities

isolated cave ecosystem

Cults

History of combining 2D and 3D

What films use 2D and 3D why

Using 3D to look 2D and 2D to look 3D

·         Short explanation e.g. one to two sentences explaining how argument supports project questioning.

Isolated communities:

Isolated communities is valuable information to my question as my world, is un underground cave, cut off from the surface. This research will help understand what kind of effects a cut off civilization can have on people and the way they act.

isolated cave ecosystem:

This topic is relevant for my argument as, in my world, it has its own environment. Studying this will help me delve more into how my world works, what will effect how the people live, by what their environment is like

Cults:

Cults are often isolated communities, with their own way of life, twisted as it may be. I believe researching into it could help develop the cut of world that I am creating

History of combining 2D and 3D:

Looking into past films and shows, what can I learn from them, how and why both 2D and 3D was used. This will give me insight on why both mediums have been previously used within the film and animation industry.

What films use 2D and 3D why?

Looking into specific films, research why that technique was used for that film, if it was a stylistic approach or if it was due to easier animation or technical reasons.

Using 3D to look 2D and 2D to look 3D:

ScreenArts: Film review - Tangled the Series

Tangled the Series

Tangled the series, is a continuation of Disney's Rapunzel story 'Tangled'.

The tv series takes place after the movie and after a short by the name of Tangled before ever after, which seems to act as a pilot for the series to bounce up off.

The series brings in new story lines and characters, such as Casandra, Varian and Adira as well as bringing back old characters and callbacks to the movie, extending and developing characters we already know.

The story in season one and from the short ' before ever after' introduces us to these mysterious black rock, which have some connection to the sun drop, to Rapunzel.

I absolutely love this series, it handles the characters well, and each episode managed to capture and entertain, 

whether its directly connected to the main plot, or if it is a filler episode.

Sword wife

Proceeding with fangirling (spoilers for the show)

I have finished season one, which left me fangirling over the character Varian (THE BABY DID NOT DESERVE WHAT HAPPNED), I absolutely loved the idea of the stone an opposite to the sun drop, it adds so much lore to the world and just, its amazing,

THE BABY

and Varian, THE BABY BOI, he is an alchemist, and it SO ADORABLE, he is so passionate with his science and experiment, not always listening to his father and getting in trouble, and doing what he can to help people, which makes when he turns to be a villain, SO MUCH MORE PAIN. I loved his character arc in season one, and I CANT WAIT till he comes back, I have had some of the later season spoiled for me but it doesn't stop me from loving each episode.

Still loved him though, he made for an amazing season 1 villain, Rapunzel did get a little annoying with her optimism but It didn't get to the point of hate, they also have a character to balance hers out, in the form of Casandra.

Season two so far is amazing, the character, Adira, is so adorable she pops in every episode or two to guide the now traveling main cast of the series, (sadly no Varian yet :'( ) but so far so good, I'm only a few episode in, and just SWORD WIFE IS AMAZING, she is so cheeky yet stays her distance when the gang does not want her. The traveling arc so far is interesting as it lets us see what goes on outside of Rapunzel's Home kingdom Corona.I really hope Varian is brought back this season though I'm not gonna hold my breath on it. 

Like I said earlier I have seen spoilers, sadly, and i do know he comes back, 

just don't know when.

Honestly 90% of these reviews i do this year is gonna 

be me fangirling over something I've been watching.

Animation Project: Mood Boards

Screen Arts: Short to Feature

Short Films to Feature Films

Brief History: Notes

In the beginning of film making films were no longer than 20 minutes, such as the 1902 Film, A Trip to the Moon.
Longer films at the time were considered more respectable.
Coming up to WW2, it began to be used for war propaganda and education.

around 60's Film became more popular
MTV became a source for film making.

Short Films now are easy to consume and are always scoffed up.
Youtube became a way, of uploading, sharing and getting quick views for film.


All those old films are quite interesting, and how they developed, Longer films use to be considered more high class back in the day however as time progressed, and people got more busy with their lives, the shorter films became more Liked, not to say that long films are not popular, however the shorter films are easier to stop and watch in a busy like.

Short Film to Movie: 9

9 was a short film ( a student short film) directed by  Shane Acker

The student film- Released in 2005 followed the story of a puppet's struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic style world, faced with a terrifying cat beast.
It won for in an animated film festival and was later adapted into a movie.
The character's origins was not adressed which made us focus soley on their strugle to survive

A lot of the story, a lot of the world seems to not come across in the movie as it is majorly subtext
it was not as well received as the short film, I believe this was due to lack of context for the audience,
and the fact that they tried to dig up some of the past, in a way that didn't quite work


It is the type of film where you have to search for the answers rather then have it handed to you,
It is quite different from the short film but hold the same ascetic the same stakes and wonder within this creation.

Fun Fact: The creator made a Facebook for the scientist and leading up to the release of the film, he would post noted of the scientist studies, up until the release.

Animation Project: Planner Options

Options for keeping log of my Project:




Shotgun
I'm  wanting to use shotgun as this is an Industry used software, meaning learning to use it will prove valuable, to keeping track and my own skills for my future.
It is far more complicated but I think that is all the more reason to learn it now.

However it might be overkill, seeing as it is intended for large group.



Outlook
This is defiantly one of the less complicated options that I have for my planning, I can create task for each thing I need, set a schedule, and keep track
