My Animation movie

I want to do my own animated story to the song "True Romance" by She Wants Revenge. I want the story to be a kind of "Fatal Attraction" story line. A married man has an affair and she begins stalking him, going to his home, sending him flowers and pics of her, and generally other crazy nonsense. I want to do something neat with the style its carried out in though to make it unique. I was thinking of doing a stort of graphic designy shadow outline kind of style like the one employed by Lotte Reiniger. The style is still somewhat up in the air but thats what I would like to try. Here are some examples of the shadow outline style I'm interested in.




Here is some of Lotte Reiniger's work from Prince Ahkmed














And here's just a cool graphic design thing I found

My animation

I read that we had to choose what type of animation we wanted to do for this class. I don't really know what that means because I thought we HAD to do a flash animation, which is why we are learning flash. So i'm probably kind of confused. Anyways I wanted to do a flash animated music video. I don't know if that was an option but Its something I always really wanted to try. I wanted to do a story animation to the song "true romance" by "she wants revenge." and I'm really excited about it so I hope I get to do it.

I think a good animation is half well done animation and half well done sound and soundtrack. In my opinion you can't have a fantastic animation without both, one needs the other. Your memories of your favorite animated movie always comes with a particular sound or soundtrack when you think of them thats why I think a good soundtrack is very important in animation, its half the ambiance. And I think such a good song with such unique and retro rhythm will challenge me to do an animation that can meet the skill employed to create the audio.

This is original music video of "True Romance" by "She wants Revenge" I'm not sure how to just upload audio so I uploaded the whole video, enjoy!



This is a short flash movie created by Katy Towell. I love her work and she employed the shadow outline design that I'd like to do for my own work.

Favorite Animation

My favorite animation I would have to say is Shin Angyo Onshi. It is an animated movie created in Japan but based on the Korean manwha of the same name. I normally don't like anime or manga but though this movie employs a few animation cheats it also animates from many povs that I've never seen carried out as well as its carried out in this movie. It also has a very traditional sounding soundtrack that I enjoyed as well.
