RESEARCH
Dog’s
animation movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WplkcAlf7Y4)
REFLECTION PAPER
Firstly my story came up with a sad
story that actually I want to deliver slice of life message that we needs to
love our pet and never abandoned it, but yet in order to match with my target
audience that is family so I came up with the action and comedy genre so can
fit for little kid and adult as well without changing my key message. And some
more the characters need to have a strong motive to make my story is easy to
understand and yet has a deep meaning on it.
I decide to make my clumsy
character as dog since majority of the kids mostly like dog as their pet and
some more it will be fun to animate animal to make various action with a
exaggerate expression and movement. Moreover the robot-dog that I chose to
create is not an ordinary robot, it is contain animal being behavior on it. So
I hope that make animation for the robot and the real dog will be as fun as the
human movement.
