Applied Animation- Documentary Briefing

Applied Animation- 

Documentary Briefing

Documentaries, even animated ones, need to serve a purpose. Whether that is to tell a story, inform about what is happening in the environment or in politics, it needs to make viewers leave having taken something from it. 

For this brief; we need to collaborate with up to 3 people, produce a 1-2 minute animation, keep aware of ethical implications, work out an audience and then pitch our ideas along the way.

The themes are:

Sustainability

Science

History

Politics
