BFA Creative Strategy Pitch
SUPER SALLY PROJECT
Log Line: A five-year-old girl must attempt to save the city from the monster destroying it.
Short Synopsis: A five-year-old, Sally, is playing jump-rope when a monster attacks her city. She transforms into a super hero and tries to fight the monster. Her power lies in her ingenuity and comic ability to defy the laws of physics. When she is unable to defeat the monster herself, she calls on a friend for help.
Tone and Execution: Humorous tone, Approach is based on childhood play-time, as in imagining all the elements around you without their physical existence. While in this piece the actual creatures and surroundings exist, the girl's voice acts as a bridge between what is make-believe and what is reality, blurring the two.
Objective: The goal of this project is for interviews and portfolios and entertainment. The project should serve as a means for entrance into graduate studies and possible jobs whether they be full-time, part-time, or freelance.
Target Audience: Child/Young Teen (5-16)
Positioning: Demo reel, interviews, online portfolio, online video websites (Vimeo, Veoh, Youtube)
Mandatories:
After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Logic, Sound equipment (mics, recording device)
Inventory:
Assets - complete
Animation - complete
Sound - mostly completed, tweaking and rerecording various portions (97% finished if you must have a number)
Title and credits - nonexistent
DVD ready media - nonexistent
ISOMETRIC ART PROJECT
Concept: Loop animation of a factory that produces objects of "fear" for uber-conservative americans, Fear Factory. Examples of items produced - non Christian artifacts, books, etc., gay marriage licenses, liberals, interracial couples, abortion doctors, health care bills, etc. The outside of the building will have humorous depictions of protests, end-of-the-world bomb shelter advertisements, etc.
Example animation type:
Tone and Execution: Humorous approach, concentrating on (what is in my opinion) irrational fears of the conservative sector of America. This piece relies solely on visuals because it's final format (GIF or PNG) will not support sound. It will be created in 6 sections that are reassembled. The sections are for easy management of animation. With the overall finished size, it would be too cumbersome to animate entirely on the one giant section.
Objective: The goal of this project is to open a dialogue about unjustified fears of the conservative sector. The piece is to serve as a strong anchor point in my pixel art portfolio.
Target Audience: Young adult (18-30)
Positioning: Demo reel, online portfolio, pixel art communities
