Character Puppet Building
October 1st 2014
SetLast week I made a prototype witht the help of my friend Alejandro Moyano to test the forced perspective I want to achieve on my piece. Here are some pictures of it.
Character
I also started to build a wire armature. I used the same technique that I learned with my teacher Lesly Paiden (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3526662/) during my exchange in California. I will take better pictures this week.
Story
A local house in the Andes is leaking. Drop by drop, the relationship between a father and her daughter is drowning together with their lack of communication.
Project Description - Goals and Reflections
Aguacero is a project that focuses on the urge to explore my Latin American cultural heritage by blending the importance of our crafts tradition as well as our magical realist worldview. This three minute animated piece will use stop motion as a medium that stresses the beauty of a tangible world. The architecture, textiles and small objects embody a history that is embedded in our everyday. Aguacero will also emphasize the power of collaboration. Since the beginning of my process, I keep consulting my brother, finding friends that love to write, to light, to sculpt, to make music, in order to bring this project to life. In this way I will still focus on the aspects of stop motion film-making that I love the most: story crafting and sculpting. I will certainly face challenges specially towards time management. My lack of ability to draw will also be a challenge in order to build a solid animatic. I believe strongly in my story and as soon as my set starts to build up I will more comfortable to shape it even more, playing with the camera and lighting.
My greatest source of inspiration has always been literature. I grew up reading the books that my father used to read, stories that were kept all around my house. He, like any other Latin American, was fascinated by the magical realistic movement that captures the essence of our worldview. After reading a short story that one of my best friends wrote, I immediately thought I should animate it, I should create a piece that response to it. Following the magical realist storytelling and my personal emotions, the story begins with a strange situation that is presented as a part of the everyday - a house is leaking, while Soledad tries to approach her father to solve tensions that exists between them.
