Studio2-week1-mindmap

Here are three possible directions for my studio2. I mainly work on 2D animation and learning animation drawing skills. So, those three plans are the linear direction.

Plan 1

The concept of fear/phobia is my favorite. I was inspired by a list of 'A-Z Strange and a common list of phobias'. It's stated as many as the phobias. I think fear is psychological mapping but also a product of the collective subconsciousness. In this field, I want to explore the inner fear of some people and I hope to make a series of short animation(3-5seconds) each.

There are two parts that I am considering. The first is content. I am still considering whether to express fears in daily life or something more creepy and bizarre. Secondly, I am thinking about aesthetic performance which includes characters, color, etc.

Plan 2

In this plan, I wonder to refine a storyboard from Animated Narrative in studio1 and finalize it into a short 2D animation.

Plan 3

The third idea stems from the flexible use of 2D animation techniques. I want to use physical effects such as explosions, clouds, liquids, etc. in creative abstract animations. I was referred from the ora2 CM(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFYBdGxOFE8). In terms of my graphic design background, I thought the CM is very creative and visualize. 

I think if I go for this direction that I can use those effects to create a stream of consciousness abstract animation and use this effect to practice Transitions.
