CALLING ALL ANIMATORS!

Let's create some 5-10 second TEST ANIMATIONS for this awesome RE: Childhood contribution "Gooblygag & The Ghost" (http://www.hitrecord.org/records/703923.) Once we identify a visual style for this story's world, we can remix it into an Animated Short Film.

Here's how YOU can contribute to this collaboration:

ANIMATORS: Create 5-10 second Animation Tests by taking a piece of the "Gooblygag & The Ghost" audio record and animating it. You could animate it in 2D or 3D, try Paper Cut-Out Stop-Motion, or do Line Animation. 

You can create your own characters for this collaboration, or check out collabs like the Character Collab or Monster City.

Thanks!

A story from the wonderful and astounding mind of my five year old sister, Aoife. As told by her. 

When I first heard the audio done by CautiosTrain of "Gooblygag" and that supercute voice of her five year old sister, I wanted to animate something, where we can observe the little girl while she is telling her story.  I think, by that we have a lot of opportunities in showing various numbers of facial expressions, even if the "model" is very simple. The next thing I would love to show, is the world she is talking about, oh and everything is happening/building itself behind her back. Shadows or silhouettes that may appear, smoke, growing things etc. Maybe at some points she can interact with her phantasie world or react (body language, facial expressions etc.)

I think this story would be really fun if we kept the animation to drawings that are more crude child-like renders. I did this little test with a chalkboard sort of aesthetic, but the whole animation could be child-like drawings in different mediums on different surfaces such as: markers on lined notepaper, finger paintings on newsprint, chalk on a sidewalk, crayon on coloring book pages, etc.

A stop motion done with paper and a sharpie.
