Statement of Intent

CONCEPT AND THEMES

I decided I am going to base my animation on my grandma’s
stamps collection. My idea is to interpret stamps in a non-obvious
way to create an adventure story. I am going to design
environments and creatures inspired by the collection.
The theme of the film is going to be the search for
one’s self and roots. The character goal is to explore the
past, and trough that, get to know themselves better.
Without any knowledge of the past, with the use of the stamps,
the character is going to explore their vision of it.

ROLES

I am creating my peace as a solo project. However, I am staying
open to collaboration. I am in a feedback group with Caye and
Hristina, so we are going to continue discussing our work. We are
also open to help each other with whatever we would need later
in the production process.

TECHNIQUE, SKILLS DEVELOPEMENT

I decided that I want to further explore the use of grease pencil in Blender. I have been fascinated with the environment design in Blender. With the use of 3D tools, it is possible to create 2D looking animated backgrounds. Because the environment is designed in a 3D space, camera movements are easier to control without having to redraw frames. To further develop my skills, I want to focus on the composition of the shots, character design
and environment design. I want to try to develop a style that could stay consistent with all my work. I will continue to work on my 2D hand-drawn, digital animation skills.
