Week 7 I think about what should folio 2 do. At first, I felt that folio 1 was not very good, so I wanted to change the direction of development. For example, during the consultation with max, I mentioned that I want to do some issues about traditional culture in China or Japan, so I went to see the following two Animations with their own national characteristics.
1 big fish begonia
It is one of my favorite Chinese cartoons in recent years. Originating from a mythical story in ancient China, the film tells the story of the young girl Chun who is in charge of the growth of the begonia flowers and strives to resurrect the soul of the human boy "Kun" for the sake of gratitude. With the help of the celestial god's Qiu, he struggles with each other's entangled fate. On December 3, 2017, "Big Fish Begonia" won the Best Animation Feature Film Award at the 15th Budapest International Animation Film Festival.
Why I inspired from this movie is because the character's living environment in this film. It is a traditional Chinese building Fujian Tulou to show a family atmosphere. This act of incorporating elements of reality into animation is worthy of my study. In my folio2 I decided to incorporate some elements of reality.
2. White Bear Cafe
Why I inspired from this movie is because it anthropomorphizes animals. Showcasing the atmosphere, culture, occupation, and environment of Japanese society in a relaxed and pleasant relationship. The story tells that the owner of the coffee shop is Bai Xiong. Guests range from people to animals. Among the regulars are pandas and penguins. They often sit by the bar and talk about new things while drinking coffee. Panda works part-time at the zoo. My hobby is to roll and eat bamboo leaves. I hope I can be lazy all day long, afraid of being sucked by my mother with a vacuum cleaner. Mr. Penguin secretly loves Miss Penguin at the bakery. In order to take his ride to learn his driver's license one day, he confesses a confession. White bears often put in cold jokes. There are so many stories that it's hard to tell the truth. With a distinctive personality, I also want to incorporate some attractive traits for the folio2.
