In terms of my own personal direction that I have taken from the advise and criticism I received today, I feel really positive. The general view was that since the last crit, despite continual development of my animation, I have not managed to adequately define my target audience like I had planned to. I had kind of experimented but not made any significant changes or decisions apart from experimental soundtracks suited more to an adult audience. I feel sure that I want the animation to be targeted at an adult audience rather than children, however I dont want to change the concept and design too much, as I dont really have the time now and I think what I have works well for what it is. I did toy with the idea of redefining my audience....
Ideas I had were :
Top 10 best...
Children's authors
Children's stories.... for adults
Children's stories... for grown ups
Fictional stories
Children's films/stories that traumatize small children (!)
Fantasy stories
Imaginary characters
Fictional characters
Fictional creatures
Fantasy creatures
Mythical Creatures
Mythical beasts
I am still unsure whether I want to make this change of direction as I am otherwise happy with the style and theme of my animation so far....
I know this seems late in the game to make a change like this, but I have worked hard at this brief and from what I have seen I am quite possibly ahead of schedule in some respects, so I think I can allow myself this alteration and the extra work it will create. I can easily get the storyboards drawn up between now and the weekend, and then the assets all created and ready to start animating the final idea by Sunday/Monday, which only sets me back about two days I think. I am still unsure of what to do, so I think I will sleep on it and decide tomorrow when I feel less mad....
