I should say the introduction of this task was when real work started. Each student was required to come up with an animation in relation to his or her culture.
Though in one of our other tasks we developed the character in relation to this topic, I could not make a story for the character since so many others have developed animations for that character.
I then decided to design my animation on a topic which would seem general and well known but with a more surrealistic approach. The reason behind this is, the chosen topic is one which is quite misunderstood and perceived in a certain light. I then blended basic realistic ideas with a bit of fantasy to make things clearer.
This topic was also developed as a result of a few personal experiences and also experiences shared by others, and since it is one which is also experienced everywhere I looked at it as a universal culture a way of life not for a particular set of people but instead for every race.
I then went on to develop my story boards, make sketches and do a little research on the topic and how well I could represent my message.
This task was new to a lot of us especially me since I had never in any point in my life tackled animation development.
This made it quite an issue when it came to the development of the story for my chosen topic and the characters involved as well as their roles in the story.
Advantages
This task how ever opened my mind and in some way pushed to a certain limit since there was little time to cover this task and the modules as a whole.
