So I have a lot of free time to think about things at work...
One idea that is really swimming around in my head is Another World.
Waaay back when I used to draw a lot of little doodles and show them to my parents because they would make me feel better about myself with their lovely shower of compliments. They would tell me that I should be an animator, and I could go work for Disney. We would toss this idea around for years, especially with the prospect of my father wanting to move the family to Florida as soon as he could afford it.
I didn't really think any of it until now. Not that I think my drawing is capable of reaching that calibar, but I've been very vocal about wanting to be a flash artist. I have so many ideas and things that I really want to create, but I just don't know how.
Anyways, I've always wanted to make a Disney movie too. I feel like Disney movies aren't the same as they used to be. There's no powerful message, no meaningful songs. They're just not as magical as they used to be.
So I would wonder, what the heck would my Disney movie be about? All of the classics are based off of fairytales, mythology, and reknown tales. What is there that is left that would make for a powerful story?
Well at work I was tossing an idea around in my head. I love all of the classics, and I really don't think it could get any better then that. Soooooo, what if:
-I drew all my inspiration from the classics, blended all of them together storywise. Ohhh man it would be really tough to do, and to do it right. But that's what I love about the idea. It would take a lot of really hard work, and that's what I want to do! Plus it'd be sort of paying tribute to the classics in a modern/futuristic view.
-It would be set in a sort of pop-futuristic fantasy world. Think, space or something. I don't think Disney has gone there yet, and I definately have a thing for space epics. XD
-Because of the setting, I could really play around with the score and the music. I could go heavily electronic or industrial. It would be something Disney movies have never seen before. Or it could just be heavy pop orientated. Either way, it's a sound that is becoming more popular with our generation, and I think using that in a film as iconic as Disney would speak volumes for our musical developments. That way it would sound more modern, and less...I don't know, obviously trying to be a musical song? I want the music to fit the scenario well.
-I've already got a few characters already mapped out as well. Two of them I've had with me since 7th and 8th grade respectively, and haven't really known where to actually PUT THEM to make them alive. I really feel like this would be the perfect place for them. Seriously, while I'm working, the characters are pretty much writing everything for themselves. It's like watching a mini-series in my head, they way they already have established relationships with each other and how they bounce off each other creatively.
Yeaaaah. Those are just some of my ideas for 'my Disney Movie'. I seem to have taken a liking to calling it "Another World" in my head. Who knows if this will ever happen, but I'm sure it'll keep changing and evolving from here.
Now that I have some free time in the summer,- well, actually not really. With my free time, I want to give it up to learning how I can actually make this happen. XD I'm looking into taking some summer classes, hopefully they will give me some help with all of this. Then I want to self teach flash, and improve my drawing. There was also this music program I found that I was messing around with and creating all these heavy electronic beats. I'd love to make the music too.
YEAH! So. This is my new project. It'll definately keep me busy, but I really feel like I need to stay motivated on this one and kick it out rather then letting it sit in my mind and die. o.O

ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD!
We should get together over the summer and do some work on a collective body of work. We could make little stories, almost artistic vignettes! It would be loads of fun. We can even work on separate projects, but it's always a boon for artists and creative minds to work within the same vicinity and share ideas and knowledge of tradition.
Disney, as of late, has gravitated toward a very strange age... everything has to be new, yet they have been drawing on traditions beyond its own 2D animation history. Soon, they will refer back to artistic precedents in their upcoming films, and it will be wonderful, for sure.
We need to have an art and animation binge! IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!
