Animated narratives - Week 4

Theme of the week: PLOT 

MAGI Semester 1 Week 4

PLOT

This is a story about a dove-mafia - victim of threats and poverty, who is a hostage of the current situation in his life. He is forced to engage in crime and placed in aggressive decadent environment. This work examines ideas of absolute subordination of man to environment conditions. 

This is continuation of the story, that I started on my first week. I continued the beginning of the story in story-board, added descriptions of sounds and dialogues. Thought more about the plot of the story and narration. 

My story is similar to the plot “The quest’. The protagonist and companion set out to acquire an important object. They face temptations and another obstacles along the way. 

- Main character Lo-pigeon receiving a call from ‘Big Wing’ (start of the mission)

- Going to take the case with seeds from mafia group in strip-club 

- Meeting a strip-dancer-pigeon, falling in love

- In the fight between mafia and him he is seriously injured, they had guns which were shooting with aggressive kittens

- Mafia run away with a case

*Lo returned to the main hall of the strip-club, it looked dark and empty*

- Lo-pigeon covered with blood and with kittens on the head went to the bar to have a drink, but barmen was dead lying on the bar counter, he couldn’t have a drink, unfortunate situation 

- But then she saw HER, his love, strip-dancer-pigeon, she was drunk, playing with the glasses

-Lo took her, put in the car and left

*periodically he tears the kittens away from him

-They needed to hide somewhere while they don’t find a case and they went to his depressive friend Bo

• The end of the episode. To be continued.

As the the practitioner’s work I want to introduce 12 oz. mouse, it is an American adult animated television series created by Matt Maiellaro for cartoon Network’s late-night programming block, Adult Swim. ( https://youtu.be/WqH4Bpe7Mjk )The show employs a serial format, and outgoing storyline developed from absurdist comedy to surreal horror. It is a masterpiece of avant-grade psychedelic horror. 

12 oz. mouse follows the adventures of poorly-drawn, green mouse named Fitzgerald (Fitz). Mouse spends his time by breaking into local Guitar Center, robbing banks, drinking beer and searching for a job. Together with his chinchilla companion Skillet, Fitz begins to recover suppressed memories that he once had a wife and a child who have now vanished. This leads him to seek answers about his past and the shadowy forces that seem to be manipulating his world.

This surrealistic horror work includes an interest in a dream of nightmare state, and characters who act free of moral or logical restrictions. Surrealistic horror comes more from something out of nightmare, subconscious fears - horror that doesn’t abide any logic. 

In my story I would also add flashbacks and scenes from the past and will be close to absurd comedy and surreal horror. 

More work in this genre: David Lynch’s Eraserhead, the 1977 and stop-motion animated works of Nathalie Djurberg. ( https://youtu.be/IZvQRx2EZdA )
