The first task we had to do to start ‘Introduction to Animation’ was collate 20 random pictures of 20 different objects that don’t have a special connection to ourselves. Using these images, we had to sort them into a sequence that forms a brief narrative. Pictured below are the 20 images that I took!
The objects were not taken with any story in mind, and I was only able to form a narrative after taking all pictures as I wanted the task to be challenging. I noticed that I have a lot of vintage items in my assortment, along with two coffees and two food items. From this, I made a story about two people that are sitting down and enjoying their breakfast, which is interrupted as they travel through different moments in time, collecting trinkets both small and large as they go along. They are ordered in what I would assume came latest, to earliest.
This project was quite the challenge! I had never created a narrative using this method, but it helped me think outside of the box, and make a concept without following too closely to what I am generally used to.
