Research on final project
February 13, 2009
At the beginning of our research, I have watched an animation named the Fly. It is the Oscar’s Best Animated Short Film in 1981. The producer used the fly’s view in the video, I interesting about it, so I hope to product a similar one.
I research a number of animal’s view, like horse
, monkey
, bird
, snake
and insects
, at last I choose the cat’s view
The first cat’s view is quite similar with humans’.
And the second cats living in the human world, it’s the advantage for us to show the human’s life by the cat’s eyes.
Why we choose cat not dog. We feel the cat more mysterious than dog. Cat has night vision, we want to through that to show the dark side between human.
Than, we having a most important problem in technique. How to show the cat’s move shot in our artifact. It will increase our budget if we use professional machine. We remember the fly. If we use animation to show the complex animal move shot it will solve the problem. Lisa in our group is good at produce animation. She made great animation last term.
How to explain the human’s dark side though the cat. Russian famous writer Chekhov’s article named Chameleon give us the ideas. We want to prepare a story about a rich’s missing cat and the human it met on the way. The story is split between lost the cat, seek the cat and recovered the cat. We can’t reveal specific drama now. I just can tell you our film have 5 scene and very brilliant.
At last, In our project we will control our final budget no more than 1000 pound. It including buy items, pay for actors and rent place.
