My project in Animate about Curiosity

These are screenshots of my animation I did starting from January 2019. Moreover, the theme of the project that I’m going to make a research is on ‘curiosity’. Initially what the curiosity means is that a certain person having to achieve, do or learn something or an unusual or interesting object or a fact. To investigate how curiosity is portrayed digitally, I’m going to create an animation on a person strolling in an open park almost on the way home but encounters a tree in the distance then suddenly an apple but fully ripe falls from the tree but sucks in halfway on the grass. It gets even weirder as another tree grows as fast unlike a regular tree would. So technically, the character wants to be curious of what caused the apple to do so in the first place. The screenshots of the work are shown below:

Before the making, I decided it'll be best to take a look meaning of curiosity thus how it is portrayed in certain or variety of scenarios. Moreover, one of notable type defined the meaning tells about 'Artificial Curiosity'.

The Evaluation

The project idea I made for the animation partly came from tutor involving a young person spotting an apple falling off a tree on to the ground. Furthermore, it gets stranger as its sinks in halfway into the grass so technically the character is curious on how it occurred initially. The inspiration that lead me to making the piece mostly came from my primary source where I took photos of parks in various locations at different angles. Furthermore, I extended my research on the definition of curiosity by looking at certain videos for example ‘Artificial Curiosity’. Before I chose how I wanted to make the project, I gathered many ideas on how it is conveyed in a scenario for example what drives a person in to completed a certain task, investigate a particular topic or think before taking action. The concept of the work I produced refers to what I myself usually do during my spare time where I’ll walk for miles to discover new areas I haven’t been before mostly grass parks even though the project tells about a young boy making his way home as he discovers something unusual.

The most notable that need to consider observe are those in their youth in a way of getting a better influence and understanding that way they also make something to express it. I feel like the only thing that’s gone well is how I was able perfect the animation due to making the research and getting a couple ideas from tutor even though the animation is shown as a work in progress stage. Now that I was able to express curiosity within my project, I would have able to able to develop it further by adding layers to create finishing touches, being able add more scenes without any cutaways and avoid disproportion or at least add sound if I didn't have time to do so.
