January/Tutorials

Week 16-22/01
This week some of us had tutorials with Andy. It was important because we talked mostly on the feed back of our project roposal. At this point I will write the bullet-points of Andy's feedback of my pp.
1-A research project needs to have a question or issue that is to be researched.Your proosal does not indetify one. You need to look at this first as the question will define all other aspects of your research.
2-The idea has already established itself as a popular filmaking concept, so you need to ask what are you going to do with this idea that is different.
3-Another problem relates to the video recording of the audiance reaction to your work.As the work is complete at that point it cannot be used to test the 'project'.

I thought of this problems during x-mas so I came up with these solutions to discuss:
1-About the question/issue I need to make clear that my aims are to make two videos where I will try a compination of 3d animation in toon rendering with 2d layers as pros and scenery, backgrounds etc. It is something that personaly I haven't seen by any film maker. The reason I decided to try something like this is that requires skills that I like to improve and use them professionally in the future.I can understand that in a fine art environment this sounds a bit technical. So I came u with two more solutions
-research question: Can an art piece have an alter-ego? This envolves more research and more 'art'.The installation and the treatment will be formed a bit different than I have roposed before x-mas. The last solution was:
-A digital theatre. This is quite far from my original thoughts. The storyline would be the same but the actors will be screens and the scenery ofthe theatre projections.

2-About the difference of my idea the second suggestion solves this problem, because now the alter-ego's question :if you would like to be somebody else who it will be?
changes to :if an art piece (film) would be created in another way, how it would be?

3-About the recording of the audiance reaction I agree that this cannot happen as long as the research must be complete at that point. So we drop it :)

In the end of the tutorials Andy suggested that thew 2nd suggestion is the best to move because requires more research equal to the university's standards. He also helped me to develop the ideas of the treatment and the installation. The refferences I have to look are artist who reconstracted art-pieces in a differnet way that during their period art used to be. Among them are the filmaker Dziga Vertov and Eissenstein.
