Ideas...

At the moment I only have a very vague idea of what I want to do for my FMP. I want to focus on 3D stop motion, and particularly look at set building and character interaction. I think this is where my strengths are and what will show off my abilities best. I have a few films that have inspired me and that I would love to try and adopt for my film in terms of style/ skill etc. These are:

Madame Tutli Putli

The wrath of cobble hill

Peter and the wolf

These three films are all stop-motion and heavily relied on in terms of theatre through the characters performance. The set design in these three films is also very important and the characters are very tactile and physically (and sometimes emotionally) involved with the set. I would love to create a film somewhat like this where the story isn't necessarily told through dialogue or narration but through the characters performance and through their relationship with the people and the world around them. I want sentimentality to play a large part in the film and the audience to really feel for or understand the character.
