Project oversight


(Prostock Studio, n.d.)


 ðŸŒŸWho am I working with on my project, and how will I be accountable when working with them?

As you may know by now, for my project, I will be creating an Animatic about a story of a cloud shepherd and her friendship with an island castaway.

 

Though I will be creating my animatic solo, I will be and have been collaborating with both a film student and an audio student to help me with script writing and sound.

 

To manage this, I've been communicating mostly through email to get feedback, send updates, and set up meetings. Likewise, "In a project, communication is vital because the project is a new endeavor for every stakeholder involved. Even if every member of the team has worked together on dozens of projects before this one, every project is unique. Communication is how stakeholders understand what this project is about, how it will affect them, and what role they may be expected to play" (Plowman & Diffendal, 2020, p. 1).

 

To start my collaboration journey. I began by getting assistance from a screenwriter film student to help me write my script.  Since one of my main goals is to improve my storytelling this trimester, I decided I wanted to write it myself but have someone assist me so I stay on the right track. Likewise, we soon met up in person and discussed my ideas and concerns about my story.  From this meeting, I was able to get lots of feedback and resources that I could use to craft my story.

 

From there, I spent some time working on writing my first draft of the story and sent it off to be reviewed.  To which, not too long after, I received some very useful feedback and notes on how I could improve my story and what went well.

 

 While I was messaging my film student, I also contacted an audio student to help me with sound for my animatic. Since I knew I wouldn't need the audio till the end, I wanted to make sure that they didn't lose interest, so I decided to give the audio student an update on where I am at, including asking if there was anything specific, I'll need to do to help. I, likewise, will need to spend some time listing off the sound effects I need, including preparing some material of my work I could show them. Which I am currently working on.

Why does your project exist?

  Why does your project exist? Throughout history the purpose and use of media has shifted rapidly. Whether it's used for educating, raising awareness, entertaining or testing out a new technology and style.   Everything in media has a purpose.   So, here's this week's questions:   🌟Why does your project exist and what do you want to say to your audience?   🌟How does your project concept fit into the larger media landscape of similar projects and why will your project stand out/be relevant etc?   There's a lot to unpack here but let's start with how my project came to be. To begin we were assigned with the task of creating a walking simulator of sorts in a way that tells a story through its environment and creative choices. As the main aspect is storytelling, we wanted to have a clear sense of an exposition, rising action, climax and resolution. We also wanted a clear theme and message that was in some way relatable to our audience. Likewise, after variou...

Simulator Success

Image
Walking simulators come in many shapes and sizes. Whether it's a story of mystery and heartbreak, a tale of horrors and suspicion or a leisurely stroll through a mesmerising scene. Though they have limited action and haven't exactly been considered the apex of gaming history you'll still be surprised by their success within these modern times.   Likewise, according to the Wire’s article, The Joy of Walking in games. "People turned to video games in droves during the pandemic, and game companies recorded record profits. The philosopher and theologian Saint Augustine coined the Latin phrase “ Solvitur ambulando ,” meaning “It is solved by walking,” and walking—albeit virtually, is where I turned to steady my mind " (Briscoe, 2021).   So then here's the question of the week: ⭐ How would I take my project and make it into a marketable and successful product in the wider media environment?   Well to get to the bottom of this I'll have to address the throbbing ...

What is the industry doing now and in the future? 💭 Joseph Barbera, Hayao Miyazaki, Butch Hartman, Dan Povenmire, Chris Sanders. What do these five names have in common. Answer, all of them are well known storyboard artists that aided or even created leading shows like Tom and Jerry, Spirited Away, Fairly Odd parents, Phineas and Ferb and How to train your dragon. Likewise, they have all effectively mastered the art of visual storytelling to grasp their audience and leave an impression on society.      Which brings us to this week's question: 🌟 What is the state and future of your specializations industry and how do you aim to enter it?   If the intro hasn't given it away I plan to specialize in becoming a story artist, one that works in both storyboarding and animatics.   Storyboard artists work in the pre-production section of the animation industry. They tend to work in house with other artists including the director to create a visual and engaging represen...
