After the past days’ discussion, we decided to try some more experimental things. So we finally picked “Utopia and Dystopia” as our working subject because this one can give us more thought compared to other subjects. When people talk about Utopia and Dystopia, many people will associate cyberpunk. Some films or novels might influence it. But how to define utopia or dystopia should decide by everyone. The principal likes, “There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes.” So I prefer to show two opposite worlds in work. Which world is a utopia or dystopia? The audience can define themselves after watching the movie, and there will have a different answer. So I shared my thoughts with my teammates, who agreed with this setting. After that, we started to find our other teammates studying in another major.
We think the work can be shown in two styles. One is combined with a game, and people can experience and visit the two words. Another is to tell a story; the work will be more visually appealing, unlike a classic animated film. So we talked with four groups of students whose majors are Game, VR, and VFX. Finally, we decided to work with VFX’s students. And we also want to work work with some 2D animation students so that they can help us to make some assets in 2D styles, but sadly we have yet to find who is interested in this topic.
