Children’s Society Project Blog Update.

The Children’s society is an organisation to develop and focus on supporting children and young people with difficulties, mental health and who have been through abuse. We have been asked to make a 3 min animation based on a recording of one of the children’s experiences. My animation is called Every Step. Every Step is about a homeless teenager who is experiencing difficulty getting into college and the course he wants to do. He is really passionate about becoming a mechanic but every attempt he has made on his own he has been rejected from college. He was alone, no one was there to support him. He was approached by the Children’s Society and they took him to the mechanic course that he wanted to do and helped him to get a place at college. They also provided him with accommodation, clothing and food vouchers to prevent him starving. Unfortunately he found it difficult getting hold of a lawyer but his support worker from the Children’s society helped him find a new one. The support worker helped him every step of the way. I started out by creating some initial drawings and ideas. I then converted these into an animatic sequence which was exported on premiere. I used this to pitch my ideas to the Children’s Society. I am currently still updating some of my imagery, making improvement of the drawings so that they show a bit of illusionary movement. I want to make the final animation in TVPaint.
