Identities - Another Virtual Object - Cartoon Strip

Identities - Another Virtual Object - Cartoon Strip

Well I've been cracking on quite well with all of my work but I've not even considered what I'm going to do for my two free vitual objects, I think this is a chance to show what I want to do more than the other pieces because it isn't set in stone like the logo and avatar. Well until this point I didn't even have a clue what I was going to do until I was watching one of my all time favourite films today.....KES.



Ok I'd just like to say I didn't watch it on youtube, I have the DVD! Anyway I have decided to do an animated cartoon strip, If you take a look at the clip from the film above you'll see what I'm talking about a comic strip that plays out in front of the screen and zooms from panel to panel. What is annoying is that for all the rubbish on youtube I couldn't find the exact clip I wanted so I had to use the first part of the complete movie, the clip is right at the end by the way. But yeah I think it could work really well, I want to try and animate each panel slightly before it moves to the next, another idea I have is a narrator over the top like in KES to give it a humorous edge. I'd like to make it humorous and very colourful with lots of stuff going on in it, I don't quite know what its going to be about but having a cartoon version of my avatar in it might be a good idea jut to give my work some kind of continuitey.


As far as influences go I guess you can't go wrong with Jamie Hewlett I also like the Marvel comics a lot, not the point of obsession I might add I'd never collect them I just quite like comic books. What I really like is that I can work on it from home giving me lots of time to make it brilliant from the comfort of my own flat. But thats about it I'll work out a story and get on with drawing a comic strip, fun, but watch KES it's awesome, gives a real amazing picture of a deprived Britain and an evil older brother.
