DSDN 101 | Project Three
Critique of Keith Thurlow’s work so far
By Helen Williams
Review of:
The 200-300
words
This is a concise plan of action –
because I have talked it over with you I probably know a few more details than
you are giving away here but as an introductory proposal it reads fairly well
and is therefore easy to judge from a client’s point of view. Maybe a few more
scraps of information (for example you might want to give a hint about the
audio you’ll be using) would round it off and give you the 200 word count.I have also made a couple of grammatical and spelling adjustments and reworded the sentences that just needed a slight change in word order – I couldn’t help myself - I hope you don’t mind.
The
storyboard
My first reaction was that I really like the colours and the
hand-drawn squares – it lends itself well to your plan to keep the animation
basic. I was curious to know if there was a hidden message behind the colour
placement but maybe I am trying to read too much into it. I was also wondering
about images 21 – 23... is the idea that the stick images will form the cross
logo? Maybe some explanatory notes would be helpful.
The
Snapshot
I really, really like the angle and focus of this clip. And
you’re right about the frame rate you want to work in if this test is anything
to go by. 20 fps was too quick - 10 fps would nail it.
Original Proposal
For this Project, my
intention is to raise awareness about Caritas. Specifically the Caritas
Challenge; an event targeted at New Zealand school age students. This challenge
offers four different options that are designed to help those involved develop an
empathy for the conditions of the less fortunate in the Pacific Region.
To achieve this I
will be creating a video that compares the conditions of the target audience,
to the less fortunate in an entertaining and simple manner. This video will be
comprised of a basic animation that switches between two people, displaying
their daily actions and tasks in an abstracted, yet readable manner.
I intend to develop
empathy and a feeling of responsibility within this target audience.. Because
the aim of the video is to attract interest, I will not explicitly describe
each of the four challenges and instead entice the viewer to visit the
Challenge website to find out more. I
intend to create simple abstracted drawings in illustrator and animate them in
flash at a slow frame rate, 8-12fps. The final clip will be approximately 60
seconds long.
