After our tutorial and discussing the branding of our styling company it was agreed that me and Naomi would be under the title of 'Art Directors' as we are looking at doing more than styling for this project.
It was suggested that we take up on Naomi's slightly darker inspirations such as Tim Burton and explore this through animation.
One suggestion was to look at the animation film - Ghost in a Shell. This is a futuristic filmed based on the idea of cyborgs.
Another suggestion was Salad Fingers, an online small animation series about a lonely green man who lives in the middle of nowhere.
Despite looking into both of these suggestions, they do not inspire me. I think they may be too dark for me to fully understand and Salad Fingers actually terrifies me. I've never been a huge fan of the whole futuristic idea but gather more inspiration from a historical reference, therefore I think I may look to the past for inspiration.
On the idea of animation, a few of my favourite films are Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, both Studio Ghibli films.
I think its the idea of the unnatural being hidden that inspires me. These stories have less of a dark twisted feeling but one of imagination. I think its the idea of wanting to be part of a world that is similar to ours but more dreamlike confused with fantasy.
Going on from this me and Naomi could perhaps characterise ourselves and make a small animation that would promote us as a company perhaps on our website.
