I intentionally moved away from the close minded approach to writing a story that has been seen in the past. In trying to connect with an audience, a filmmaker seem to go to their comfort zone of telling a sad story and earn empathy; here I’m trying to earn that empathy but in a different way, I will earn the connection using the characters. An animator’s biggest challenge is to make the viewers fall in love with the characters or hate it as we choose so. The challenges lie in trying to make the characters feel believable, and make them act out the story and not let the story tell the character. The driving force of the movie is the character and the animation itself.
Reference: Snatch, Up, Rock N Rolla.
Notes from the film-maker:
The movie follows the three characters so therefore the eye of the viewer (camera) will act almost as the 4th member. (More in shot breakdown) Technically, I will try and use pans, close ups, reaction shots, fast cuts.
