Bit of an update

Following on from our meeting with Mike the previous week, Jamie and I just spent the day blitzing our 4D. We like the idea of using an existing narrative but maybe update it. Bambi was mentioned a few times last week with Mike so we had a trawl thru’ Disney films. While we were doing that, we decided that maybe doing a fairy tale would be better. Most of them are quite dark and are metaphors for other things but have been Disney-ed up to look quite bright and friendly. I’m gonna be researching Little Red Riding Hood.

We also deconstructed Person2184. Of the films Friedrich Kirschner’s made, we both really like this one. The look and feel, it’s very comic-book like. Also, having cartoon-like backdrops with newspaper-style photographs of the characters is pretty cool. Anyway, back to the film. We’ve managed to export some of the characters but they’re all in DDS format but with the correct plugin, Photoshop can work with them so we can now see how Friedrich created them.

The plan of attack for the next couple of weeks are research our fairy tale, get hold of the DDS Photoshop plugin and deconstruct some characters.
