Presentation 1 by Alfie Gunter on Scribd
'Dad's Dead' is a short 'hybrid' film. Although it doesn't quite match your theme exactly it does demonstrate another storytelling/animation method including using a voice over and animating things on surfaces to 'enhance/change' the world.

Hey Alfie, okay - apologies for not getting to this sooner... but my advice here is the same as it would be after the presentation, so you may as have it now... Really good theses are examples of saying something rich and meaningful about 'less' - so focus, precision and tightly controlled terrains are all key to this goal. So - in terms of your 2 key words 'Gender' and 'Animation' - they are both vast topics, and I think you will specialise from the outset - here are some examples of what I mean, as I think I can explain it most clearly this way: for example:
ReplyDelete'An investigation into the representation of effeminate men in Western animation' (So here you specialise both what you mean by 'gender' and also localise your animation to a particular region).
'An investigation of the representation of black women in American popular animation' (again, the gender issue is both specialised and affixed to another specific issue of representation and again, the location of the animation tradition is specified as belonging to a particular culture).
Let me know if this makes sense?
Thanks Phil this all makes sense. I like the idea of looking at gender and the region of where the animation comes from. I think I'll go down that route.
