Week 9: Into the Grit
Visualizing ethics is tough. Reformatting Ruined by Design into a two minute script is even tougher.
Script Progress
This past weekend I continued to make my way through Ruined by Design. I’m normally a quick reader but I have been meticulously annotating the book so it’s been a slow read. Until I finish the book, my script will not be complete. The basis of my script will be the code of ethics but I want to incorporate Mike’s captivating sarcasm into the animation. The toughest part is choosing which lines will make it. I’m only a third into the book and it’s already full of highlighted passages and underlined phrases.
Sunday Update: Finished the book on a road trip this weekend. Time to move forward with the fun stuff 🎉
Visual System Progress
To help ideate the look, tone and feel of my final artifact, I decided to get physical with my hands. I gathered up old paper materials from my parents housing. Materials include: vintage newspaper, National Geographic, Color-Aid and construction paper.
Schedule Update
- Gather lines to put in script
- Begin to visualize each of the ten ethics
- Continue to practice collaging
- Gather paper and printed materials for animation assets (newspapers, old books, old photographs, old textures)
- Define color palette
