| Cut out art Influence map |
I was looking at the above videos and they inspired me to look into cut out art I think that this could be a great style in which we could use to tell our story about the industrial revolution. Apache is a great example of how we could use a 2D style in a 3D format.
Story Ideas
Story No.1
Thomas Edison
The camera zooms out
of the candle that is placed beside a book on an old wooden table the only
light source in this room is the candle. The camera zooms into the title of the
book, Thomas Edison and the 19th century. A gust of wind flips the
book open to the first page. The pages flip open to a page filled with, blue
print drawings of inventions all of his inventions are on the page from the
Kinetographic camera to the perforating typewriter. The 2D image of the Phonograph
begins to wiggle and move and the notes begin to push their way out of the book
crating 3D notes. The music of 1877 fills the room, and the phonograph begins to
pushing its way out of the book changing its 2D shape into three-dimensional
version, it floats out of the book playing music from 1877 the phonograph
dances away then the carbon telephone seeing what had happened decides to push
itself out off the book too, as it floats out of the book it begins to ring in beat
of the song that the phonograph is playing. It follows the direction that the
phonograph has taken, a light bulb comes out next with a long string at the end
gets stuck in the book and the light bulb forces itself out by pulling upwards
his string is released and the click is heard as the light bulb turns on. The
light fills the room, and follows the other inventions that are dancing in a
circle above the book the sound of an electric locomotive can be heard the
books open page morphs into the exit of a tunnel and the electric locomotive
bursts through joining the others his sound also adds to the music that is
being created by the phonograph and telephone. All of these inventions continue
to circle then they float back into the book closes. The light bulb floats
above the book and the light continues to get brighter and brighter the camera
zooms into the light and the screen fades into white.
I think that Going west and the cut out influence map show the art direction in which I think that story 1 could be shown.
Story No.2
Mr Diesel & his
engine
A large workshop with pictures of planes
and cars and engine sketches placed all over along with miscellaneous machine
parts placed all over. The workshop is packed with boxes of engine parts and
fuel. A calendar with the date 1897 is on the wall. Mr diesel a man in his
thirties is hard at work tightening the last screw on his engine; he smiles and
decides to push the on button. But before his index finger touches the button
he walks out of shot, the sound of rustling can be heard and then it stops and
Mr Diesel returns with a bicycle helmet. He pushes the button but nothing
happens, he pushes it repeatedly but nothing continues to happen. In a fit of
rage he throws his spanner at the machine and it starts to rev slowly but then
the speed slowly begins to increase faster and fast until the engine combust in
flames. The flames die down and with no eyebrows Mr Diesel continues to stand
in shock staring at his machine. The screen fades to white and the word four
months later appears. Mr Diesel is accepting an award for best new inventions
as he stands on a podium He still has no eyebrows but he now has a broken arm,
nose and all of his fingers are wrapped in bandages. The Engine is embossed
with the words Diesel engine Test 51. As Mr Diesel lifts his award his picture
has been taken with a bright grin, his background show the sketches of machines
that the Diesel engine is used in, Planes submarines and ships and trains. The
camera fades into the headlights of the train fading into white.

| Workshop Influence map |
The Workshop influence map have ideas for what the scene could look like in story no.2 . the animation for Girl and Robot are also influences that we could use in terms of the layout also the structure of the story of having an inventor interact with their creation and having it face problems which is the premise for story no.2. Maybe there are some things that we could learn from Girl and Robot if we decided to pursue story no.2.
