Also, the below is my presentation notes on topic "Why your grad film has to animated? What did you get from the editing assignment?"
I believe that the notes below will state my points clearly and concisely. I will just write a short paragraph explain a bit more about why this has to be an animated short. First of all, I enjoy looking at drawings much more than photographs in most of the cases, and animation, which is a huge collection of drawings constructed time-based medium naturally become my favorite medium of art expression. Also, with animation I gain total control on every aspects of my film, that I can easily create or change the locations where the story happened, camera angles, weather, the outlook of my characters and visual style. Just by drawing these things out instead of hiring actors or arranging real sets or customs can save tons of money. Furthermore, I believe the great potential with animation as an art method. Animation is not a genre, and it should never be limited to only cartoons or fantasy stories. I found real life has tons of story materials worth to be extracted and presented, and I have no intention to leave these behind. So, here we are, my film, which is a story extracted from real life event, depicted through live-action-film narrative structure, animated using digital puppets, stop-motion animation process plus hand-drawn in-between, is coming soon. To sum up my film, please just regard this piece as an experimental hybrid of animation and live-action film.
