Animation as a Tool of Understanding? I haven`t been on these pages for a couple days. I have been working on my animation. Have to steal time from somewhere. Below is a rough low res animation for the title.



The way I am working on this one, the animation seems to have a mind of it`s own. Currently the working title is

Gender Perceptions
of Childhood Toys

I know it sounds like an anthropology dissertation. I should know, anthropology was one of the schools I passed briefly through in my 11 year sojourn as a college student.

The subject mater is turning serious too. I started out just wanting to do a slasher flick with a Barbie Doll and now the film has turned into a serious look into how boys and girls see the same childhood icon with completely different eyes and meaning.

Maybe I will come out of this with an understanding of why my wife and daughter love Barbie and I want to animated her bloody stabbing death?

As Leonard Rothman use to say; you send a fool to college and you get a fool with knowledge.  ¶ 10:54 AM
