For my project I was asked to produce 45 to 50 second imaginative animation that shows any type of emotion. I decided to produce an animation that reflects jealousy.
PLOT
It begins innocently. His eyes meet hers, and it seems like love made everything fall into the right place. For a few moments it probably did, but the ballerina dancer is soon to find out that her amazing boyfriend is not so great after all. He becomes extremely jealous over her passion to dance and seeing her dancing causes the growing uncertainty inside him and make him possessive and controlling. He only starts to feel safe and free when she is being imprisoned in his word and separated from her life and dreams. His peace of mind comes with her giving up her freedom and passion.
SCRIPT
Scene 1
Two birds are flying in each others directions. One of them is a craven that represents male and the other is a swallow-tanager which represent female. The shot is wide.
The birds meet each other in the middle and clash with each other. The screen explodes and the birds transform themselves into humans. The shot is wide.
Scene 2
After their transformation the couple starts to dance together. The music starts playing slowly. The shots are changing from medium to wide (may close-ups as well).
Scene 3
The girl let go of they guy hands and she forgets herself in the music. She dances, spins around and jumps. The shots and angles are going to change through out her dance.
Scene 4
The guy sees how passionate she is about dance and how free she feels. That makes him really angry and insane and causes him being closed in a cage.
Scene 5
He realise that to escape from his cage he needs to imprison his girlfriend because he believes this is the only way he can feel better and the only way to keep her next to him.
Scene 6
He slowly bits by bits takes her ability to dance freely and persuade her dream. At the end of it she is sitting in a cage and is devoid of dreams, only because her boyfriend’s possessiveness.
Examples of the animations
An emotional and sensual animation created with the use of simply sketched dance routine of a figure skating champion Yu-Na and the amazing contemporary music.
Here is also an example of simply animated dance routine. I really like the idea of simple black and white animation that shows the dance movement and despite it simplicity still looks interesting and effective.
Great example of the animation were movement, body language, shapes and poses are taking big part in creating an amazing and unusual reflection of warrior dance. I really like how the body shapes changes to the geometric shapes and then back to the body shapes. Also I think the colour palette is selected perfectly.
