Final opening credits

Premise Ideas

I like the idea of blue-because i am a tomboy and I also like how both buzz and the iron warrior's have stripes.

I am going to design graphical images based on my narrative words I have and still stick with a background that is cut-out paddington style with the main character of past me and present me in these guises to be 3d and stand out I am going to do some more designs like this to help get my final designs.

Premise Idea Style

I am going to go with a style that is kind of like Paddington's 70's animation with the background not being as much of a focus as the character e.t.c and a few important props.

The reason for this is that my animation is going to be focused on my personal relationship to imaginary characters and worlds from both my childhood and present. This is to show why I like animation in the first place and has many opportunities to make humour by sharing my experiences for example I am going to be talking about how when I was younger i didn't understand why I couldn't wear my buzz costume to a family wedding. The background will be drawn.. but attention will be on me and the guise and also how I could have been at that wedding, how I saw those objects e.g. wedding cake shoots in the middle, seeing it as emperor zurg etc. 

I am going to do some drawing and figure out how I want my characters to look but I want this feeling like haven't grown up in terms of how I was with buzz is how I am with Warhammer I spend n awful time on it, it becomes an obsession and a passion to interact with that world somehow as I enjoy it more than real life. So the characters and main props 3d. Possibly vibrant colour and background less, hence paddington bear as the focus is more on the characters. 

Changes made. need to add the colours coming in at ending title.

No sound ( will probably need some re-working in. )

Hunk may need to only do the movement once seems like its going twice. 

Fantastic Mr Fox: Wes Anderson Film Review

This is part of the Christian Devita board which shows Wes Anderson's focus for keeping shots flat and focused into the centre.

The Universe: Wes Anderson has showed his vision on what he see's rural England to be and that is urbane, Urbane means refined in it's manner. It is Fantasy Britain. There is an American angst which means fear or anxiety. But the clothe's and everything are unmistakenly British and so this quirk actually works due to being able to have a world for him to play in. He doesen't ignore the Britishness or the Author's 'look'.

The Production: The animation was made with highly detailed animatronic's miniature character's in stop motion hence the jerky movements and full of texture. Wes Anderson see's this as more of a feature than a problem. Video's were sent via Quick Time and if not acting out his vision he would act it out and send it back asking for a fix, when an animation is so focused on a vision everyone need's to commun icate to make sure it follow's through. The recording's Wes did with the actor's like Bill Murray were done in a Conneticut farmhouse to get more of a "rustic" effect. There was also 30 unit's made and things were recorded in a live setting this is so he is welcome to any suprises or otherwise things that wouldnt be expected to happen,happen causing more realism and atmosphere. Puppeteer's also used different heights for the miniature's for distance reason's. Wes aslo handpicked the suits and wristwatch prop's for the character's depending on whether the character's were outside or indoor's Wes would make sure to capture noise's of floorboards or echoes off walls even. The production artist's also had to make duplicate's of the character's incase any issues would arise and this took hours for them to do.

Bill Murray-Badger

The Core Premise: This stop motion is a adaption of Roald Dahl's Mr Fantastic Fox.

Auteur Theory ( Wes Anderson ): Auteur theory means that the director has a distinct style, this style is consistent and becomes recognisable. It is said that the most cinematically and most succesful films have this undeniable style and so the audeince recognise it instantly as the director being Wes Anderson. for example the board above shows the specific camera angle choices that Wes would have used similarly in for example The Grand Budapest Hotel, He can be known as a meticulous maker as he is so symmetrical and specific in design to which you can see thier fingerprints over it. The other camera shot that Wes like's to show importance to is close up's of all these specific character's and thier identity. Part of the charm would be effect's of boiling or even fluttering that was also not intended.
