with flipping pages- I found inspiration in the Tangled video below
I also really like the three brothers video - I might play with shadows and silhouette puppets or I might
use a lot of textures and composite them (like in the Secret of Kells)
The story Im thinking of is Rumpelstiltskin... or some other tale or myth but Im also wondering whether to make it light or dark. The original Rumpelstiltskin was a Grimm Fairy Tale and their stories aren't rays of sunshine - for example Rumpelstiltskin rips himself in to two at the end, that isn't seen depicted in many children stories.
I also really enjoy Dr. Seuss' style
Darker inspiration

Rumplestilksin sounds like a story with a lot of variation possibility. I'm also curious if you are going to mix things up with this story most people are familiar with. You can go pretty far out (an interesting example is "Stinky Cheese Man" which is a spin on the gingerbread man.) I remember you plan on using limited animation through use bookpage visual style, but do keep in mind you have to tell the whole story. I think at the moment you just need to lay your finger down on how you want it to be.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Travis. I feel that if you are going to do a story that everyone is familiar with you should add an exciting twist to really wow your audience. Also, how will you describe the story?
ReplyDelete(ex. dialogue, narration, etc.)
I'm very interested in your idea of a storybook, and I do think you should play around with telling stories with silhouetted characters like you mentioned earlier. These dark and spooky aesthetics you've chosen seem suited for the story.
