We spent quite a while trying to find an animator to be on our project, but we were having no luck.
We decided it might be better to focus it all on live action, & possibly use the idea of a childs imagination to fuel the art direction of the film.

This interested me because i am heavily influenced by directors and stories that utilise this style in their work.


I thought of different ways in which i could present the set. 
I thought of paper like styles because Al had mentioned possibly vooming into a script. I also thought this would be interesting as you could cover most of it in childs drawings. 
I also took inspiration from The Mighty Boosh and wondered whether we could project our backgrounds into the scene to make it seem more two dimensional & 'childlike' 

Inspirations:

Bunny & The Bull
Bunny and the Bull is set inside the imagination of a man, following his memories up to the point of a tramatic event. The film utilises the idea of him being inside by basing each section of the film around different parts of his house. I was interested in this idea because it was focused on the mind, but also i loved the different art styles they used.
