Experimentation Proposal

Experimentation Proposal:

For the first experimentation technique I used stop motion however I used putty to create my stop motion. This was done to push the boundaries of stop motion similarly done by Wallace R. Booth. Putty pushes the boundaries of stop motion as it forms into something new each time it is moved. Therefore the body of the putty changes each time a new picture is taken and you can also see the creator’s hand prints within the putty which makes it more authentic. I plan to push this technique through my film as I will use the putty to create metaphors instead of going with a more forward approach. Therefore I used the metaphor of a rose to represent life and when the rose gets pulled apart it is the metaphor of life being taken away.

For my second experimentation technique I used rotoscoping however I used traditional paper animation to rotoscope. This was done to push the boundaries as I wanted to show that I can have two options to use rotoscoping either through traditional paper animation or 2D animation. I got my inspiration from Max Fleischer as he used an outline to create a simple character however i used a minimalistic style as I only choose the outline of the character however I may add more details. I plan to push this technique further through my film as I like the fluidity of the man walking as it was detailed and looked smooth which is the style I think would fit with my theme.

For my third and final experimentation technique I used was parallax. This was done to push boundaries as I wanted to make certain scenes look more interesting through camera movements. This can be seen as I made a close up going through an alleyway of buildings. I got my inspiration from Walt Disney as they used multiplane cameras to create a parallax shot which makes a scene look more interesting. I plan to push this technique further through my film as this style will work well with the 2D design I think it will fit with the aesthetics of the film.
