After Effects Project 1: Revision from Michael Shaw on Vimeo.
Upon reading my original proposal, I realized there are some things I forgot to clarify. In regards to my desire to develop a form of puppetry that is American in nature, I wanted the products of my research to reference the other cultures I studied. I mentioned a couple of these cultures in my island. I'm especially interested in Chinese, Greek, Javanese methods of shadow play. In each project I might try different aesthetics, referencing other cultures.
I wanted my work to reflect a more urban influence, with cityscapes, and a feeling that the world reflected is one very familiar, very modern in regards to technology.
The stories I'm currently thinking of working with include The Tortoise and the Hare, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Lion and the Mouse, and one of the more obscure Fables, although I am not currently sure which i want to use. I am open to the idea or reinterpreting these lessons for modern day viewers, and am currently thinking of ways to further those goals, while keeping the overall morals intact.
