Animated Narrative Week 9 - Movement

For animated narratives this week we started the narrative responses in groups, and then went on to make individual responses to the brief for the week. I found working a mix of individually and in groups was really helpful and fuelled my creativity so much.

My used the premise 'What if the richer you got, the smaller you shrank.' My first object is a storyboard depicting a tiny rich man being mugged, and snapping his fingers to summon two hired giants to defend him. The second object looks at whether being rich means the quality of life, by a tiny rich man being astonished that a tiny old woman is rich with the love of her community.

The metaphor that I found really caame out strongest in this exercise was that of capitalism, and how a tiny percentage of the population holds so much wealth and power. Heaps of stories could be taken out of this idea

I chose to use the rubber hose design style that  I have been looking into to create these storyboards
