The video is finished and online.
It took around 5 full days to make, from drawing, outlining, animating and editing to make.
There are a few things I’d change but over all I’m happy that it gets the message across and that is the main thing.
Please spread this video by reblogging it.
Thanks!
Yesterday I shot 364 photos, together they will make up the campaign film.
At the moment I’m going through each of these in Photoshop; editing the colour and positions to make sure they are in line with each other.
By the weekend, I should have it edited, added the voice over and it will then appear on here and Vimeo.
Hopefully with your help we can spread the video around once it’s completed.
Originally, the full drawn script was going to be drawn out as the narrator read the script. After pre-recording this it didn’t give the audience enough time to digest the images before you move on to the next image.
To span it out and give time for everything to be taken in, I decided to draw the cartoons out and when shooting the film, write out the text.
As for how it will be filmed I will use stop motion photography similar to how Cognitive Media (who inspired the idea) do their videos. http://www.cognitivemedia.co.uk
Here is the finished pencil script for the video.
I’m planning on pre-drawing the people out and as I speak the worlds, write them out on the page.
Should be done in the next two weeks.
Work is currently beginning on the animation for SAS.
Above is the 1st draft of the script which will be read out as a voice over.
Even with this as a structure, the animation has changed slightly while developing the illustrations.
Welcome to Stand Against Stereotypes.
