Overview:
I was given a keyword and a song to start with. The purpose is to create an animation video that makes Ton Duc Thang university’s student feel related to. The final video must also include three objects: game online, chess, TDT university’s uniforms.
Keyword: love
Song: Creep (Radiohead)
Song: Creep (Radiohead)
Time: 5 weeks - 5/2018 - 7/2018.
Work to do:
Plot developing - Song version choosing
Character design - Background developing
Storyboarding - Animating
The hardest thing I found is to create a story that make college students feel related to. Mostly every college student has been through the feeling of having a crush on someone. Immediately, that person feels that he is just a creep, compared to the one he loves. If the story is not good enough, it will become cliché.
Song version choosing process:
These are the best three versions of “Creep” available: Radiohead’s original version; Daniela Andrade’s cover; Postmodern Jukebox’s cover. However, the feeling of each version is different:
moaning and expressing the anger when knowing that he is just a creep.
the sorrow of being a creep; accepting that she is just a creep.
a mixture between anger and sorrow.
Base on Ton Duc Thang’s college student culture, Daniela Andrade’s version is chosen.
Storyline:
Female character (G) developed a crush on the boy (B) in front of her. When they had classes, she always stared at him from behind, but never dared to tell him how she felt. She kept a distance from him, but felt jealous when someone tried to approach him. One day, she felt so sad that she left immediately when the bell rang, without following him. It turned out that he also liked her too, and also felt like a creep himself.
