Presentation of Ideas - 'Project Ideya'

So this week we had the opportunity to present our idea to the class. We've decided to stick with 'the creators' idea as we feel that it appeals to both mine and Liam's passion for 2D Animation

We pitched our concept to the entire class and the feedback was generally positive. However, the whole point of this presentation process is to gather information and suggestions from our peers and mentors on how we can make the idea better. Some doubts were voiced and to be fair we really should of thought of these concerns before we went up and presented... it literally must've just slipped our minds.

The synopsis of our piece; it's all about artist's ideas coming into reality. People's thoughts and dreams materialising all around them. These ideas are visually represented in 2D Animation (although we're also open to having some 3D in there as well but we simply do not have the skills to implement it our selves) and using the Visual Effects techniques that we will be learning throughout the next 7 weeks we will have a live action background and the 2D characters can interact with the real world (kinda like how it's done in Space Jam/Roger Rabbit)

Liam and I are both predominantly 2D Animators, we can use 3D techniques but we knew for this vision we needed 2D. The problem that neither of us seemed to realise is that 2D Animation is arduous and takes a lot of hard graft. Also, our mentor reminded us of the fact that 2D Animation requires expert skills that if done in an amateur fashion, can look really unprofessional and it's not the sort of thing you'd want to put on your showreel. But, however, this isn't news to me and Im prepared to take that chance. I've been doing 2D Animation for a while now and although I wasn't thinking about these issues at the time, I am more than certainly aware of them. Im speaking from experience, and it has taught me that; it's not about the final product with things like this, it's more about the journey you took to get to the end (and the grade, that's pretty important as well :/) and what you truly LEARNT that counts. So, we're gonna do it!
