This 2 short stories give a good kind of reflection towards my research on light and shadow. The first animation use a combination of 2D and 3D surrounding while the main character was totally dark. I like how they play with the emotion of the audiences by hiding the face but show more colour for the background.The depth in every scene using the perspective also helping on developing this story. The second animation use hand drawing and After Effect for editing. This story also have a very good play with light and shadow. The emotion drawn in the line of the pencil and dark surrounding give a mysterious and emptiness message.

After I came with my storytelling, I try to visualize my idea through out some random picture from the internet. I gather the picture to see if my story can have a strong message about how we treat other can change their whole life.
As I said before, my story is about homeless in a shape of unicorn doll that have been left at the park. The emotion of the dolls and how she struggle for her life at street before someone help and give her a new life.
The sense of humanity can help other to improve their own life. It also depend on how we educate our children to understand it.

After doing some practice with Sharon Campbell in Jeanette class last week, I had done this practice again at home to brainstorm an idea for my story. It's come with a good result after I write several things non stop and come out with a good moral story for my awareness campaign towards humanity. I put a little twist in my story and trying to use undirect message through my story by using Unicorn stuff doll as symbolize a human. My story will focus on how homeless emotion but in different angle as a left toys.
My story begin with...
#1st Scene
A little kids is playing in the playground with her unicorn doll. Her mother is sitting at the bench while talking with other mother. The girl name Sarah play at the merry go round and put 'Ruby' her unicorn on it. She push the merry go round and seem happy with the doll. Ruby smile while playing with Sarah.
(Cut Out Scene to Stop Motion Animation)
Sarah and Ruby now enter their playground imagination in wonderful land. This scene to show that this two character from shadow theater to the colourful environment that will be build in stop motion)
#2nd Scene
Suddenly, its start raining heavily and Sarah's mom run towards her in panic. Sarah mother grab her hand hurriedly and run towards their car. Sarah shout and scream about her toy but her mother just ignore and they drove away from the playground.
#3rd Scene
Scene show to the merry-go-round that slowly stop and focus on Ruby face that had been left behind. Her emotion are sad and empty.
#4th Scene
The raining already stop with Ruby still looking at the car park. She is still waiting for Sarah to come back. Suddenly something is sniffing behind her back and eagerly bite her and throw her on the ground. It is a big and hairy dog with big mouth. The dog keep playing with the toy and try to put Ruby under the playground soil.
#5th Scene
A whistle sound approach into the dog ear as his owner calling for him. He grab Ruby by his mouth and run towards his owner. He try to show what he had found in the park but his owner look in disgust because Ruby had already torn off and muddy. He ask the dog to throw it from it mouth and Ruby had been thrown under the box beside the street.
#6th Scene
People who cross by seeing Ruby under the box. Ruby is cold and empty without know what will happen to her after this. People just pass by and looking at her without doing anything. She feel more empty and lonely.
#7th Scene
The street become dark and the lamp post turn on and the lighting directly towards Ruby. It's look very gloomy and dark. The street become less busy from earlier.
#8th Scene
There is a woman voice talking with her phone. She's by chance has kick something under the box and Ruby fell out from under the box. She look for a while at Ruby and pick up her and identify in closer. Then, she put Ruby inside her sling bag and bring her home.
#9th Scene
Ruby had been clean and wash by her. She try to open her eyes again and look around. Ruby see a lot of new friends with smile face. She also smell and look new again. Ruby smile and greet her new friends and look surrounding in her new beautiful room.
(Cut Out Scene to Stop Motion Animation)
We can see that Ruby is running free again with her other friends in the magical an wonderful world again.
#10th Scene
There will be end credit with a message " Guide them to build a better life"

We start this semester for Maya class with this walk cycle. It's have the same principle with 2D animation walk cycle. We use 25 frame per second and using the handout that Sean already provided to us, it's seem more easier than it look.
I need to improve and learning on how to fix the Graph Editor and make this animation walk cycle to be more natural.

Imagination can go wild. When we are just a kid, we can imagine anything to be something that we want it to be. This two behind the scene video show on how the stop motion become alive using the creativity and reflective towards our mind. Pes help people to see the world in different ways as we see in the children eyes.

After I had done with 3D modelling for last semester, I had been thinking about doing the 3D modelling and make it look like 2D cut out animation. I recently watch several animation from Cartoon Saloon company such as Song of the Sea, The Secret of Kells and kids animation Puffin Rock.
The choice of mood in this animation give me some inspiration to study more on cold colours and how the light and shadow play the most important part of telling the story.
All the pictures are been using for research purpose only.

I had post about this mood board before on what colours should I choose and do further research for my project.

As I look out into my own research, I feel about what I can give back into the society rather than do something just for the benefit of my own study for graduate. Everyday I walk down along Dundee road, I can see that there are a lot of homeless people laying or sitting down especially in this cold weather. I can see that there are a lot of people like to avoid them and also not giving any sympathy. I concern more on how this homeless from the children eyes because they are growing surrounding by this people.
Here, I put several of sample on how to rise the awareness using animation and game. This animation give some example on how the humanity are becoming less in ourselves.
Homeless is something that happen in every part of the world even in Malaysia. It is our part to make our children aware and rise their conscious towards this problem.

Cloud Bread is an animation for preschool children by Cyber Group Studios. I think the concept of using cut out animation for the character and a combination with the 3D and 2D surrounding make an impact towards this whole story.
