ANIMATION PROJECT IDEA'S/RESEARCH

ANIMATION PROJECT IDEA'S/RESEARCH

IDEA
the Idea is that me and Louis will use the rotoscope technique that we learned to rotoscope one of the fight scene's from Naruto.
we will thing of the style of our characters, whether we will make our own characters or we could do a mix or our and and the current one by using some of the features of the characters and using our own ideas.
the second idea is to go out with a camera and fake a fight for us to use in photoshop and rotoscope it into our animation,
only downside to this is that each fight in Naruto can be up to a couple of hours long and as short as a few minuets. the point is to select a possible moment into a short rotoscope animation

Why will the animation appeal to them?
My animation will appeal to them because it will aired on his favourite channel and have funny, cheeky aspects top the show, for example childish jokes. The show will have a similar vibe to Adventure Time, so this aspect could attract the same target audience 

Voice Acting

Oswald The Golden Lion Monkey

My protagonist voice has to be cheeky, loud, and very confident. The character he or she will be voicing is smart and cheeky so they are two crucial ingredients needed. They need to be around 20-25 years old to fit the part.

3 Vocal Performance Needed

. Loud 

. Confident

. Cheeky

Dream Choice

Benedict Cumberbatch

He is a very talented actor who has been in many great films over the years.

12 Years a Slave and many more.

He would be perfect because he played Sherlock Holmes who is very similar to my character I need voicing. Sherlock is funny, smart, cheeky and very confident.

Reasonable choice

Drake Bell

He is also very talented actor as well as his talents in voice acting. Drake Bell used to be in a kids TV series Drake and Josh. The reason why I choose Drake Bell is because he is Spiderman in the animated series Ultimate Spiderman. Drake Bell's personality is funny, cheeky, smart, and confident. He shows these aspects when he is playing Spiderman.

  

P2. LEGAL AND ETHICAL IN YOUR ANIMATION

If you have created, designed, produced and edited an animation by yourself, for your own private purposes, then you own the copyright.

However, if a business or a professional has hired you to make an animation for them, then they own the copyright, unless stated otherwise.

While this seems simple enough to understand and follow, you would be surprised by the volume of cases out there that debate on which idea came from whom (i.e. the animator or the client) and who owns which component of the animation, etc.

A professional animation studio will clarify these factors – in a mutually-agreed and signed document- before even accepting a project, let alone working on it.

P2. REPRESENTATION AND ETHICS IN CARTOONS

Why does the write of the article believe Rio 2 is problematic in terms of its representations?
The writer believes that the movie can be seem to be racist when it comes to the actors playing the characters. He points out that there is some racial pyramid uses within the movie for example all the white-voiced characters at the top (British underneath America) while darker brown skinned voice characters are at the bottom.

What are PEPs and why are they an issue for racial representation?
PEPs stands for Problem contexts, Entertainment contexts, and Performance contexts. He tells us how black people have to be above normal in animated films, they either have to excite the audience or act the villain to play a part.

Why does Da Costa believe we end up with stereotypes in animation?
He believes that animation companies are sell outs. They choose the financial gain over moral obligation which causes the film to be rushes and racial stereotypes aren't dealt with.

What does Turbo say about social mobility?
Turbo tells us that social mobility is only available for white people, while the other characters (blacks, Mexicans and so on) are given stereotypical jobs for example the Mexican characters in Turbo are given jobs at a Taco stand while the Vietnamese woman is played by The Hangovers Ken Jeong.
