Creative Collaboration - The Presentation and Division of Tasks
for yesterdays lesson of creative collaboration, each group gave a presentation on thier idea. The groups were split into game development, who's projects consisted of virtual reality experiences, and the animators. Of which my group, group 3, was a part of.
The other animator groups were doing ideas around sculpture. With two groups coincidentaly creating sculptures shaped like fish that were made from plastic.
Our group was the last to present. As we were all busy with other projects during the previous week and were getting used to collaborating and communicating via whatsapp it was a bit stressful pooling our ideas together for the contents of the slides.
Making this powerpoint while having such limited communication with my team, on short notice, felt a little chaotic but ultimately we were able to produce what was needed.
Included in our presentation were picture references of polar bears in their natural environment, photos of the artic, our stylistic inspirations such as the animation/drawings of chuck jones and photos showing the effects of ocean pollution on wildlife. There was also a slide of character concept art created by Dennis of our main polar bear character.
To accompany the presentation, I wrote a script to memorise some of the main points of the pitch. Even though I didn't read this script word for word, only using it as a guide, I was able to communicate the information and tone of the project well. The respnse was very positive.
After the pitch, Dennis, Hung and I met and finallise our main roles in the project:
I will act as writer, editing a draft 2 of the animation script made by Hung
Dennis will be the conceptual artist and animator. Providing character and background designs, storyboards and animation.
Hung will be the editor of the film, putting the animation clips together and giving it titles and credits as well as sound design. I would also credit him as a writer, as he wrote the first draft of the films script.
Over the next few days, I will write a second draft of the film's script which I will try to finish by saturday so I can then pass it on to Dennis, so he can work on rough storyboards.
