YCN Brief: Art Fund - Idea Generation

I asked Galuh to jump on board with me again in this project because we get things done swiftly. The project will be a quick one as I need to allocate time on my short film project. Below are some visual brainstorming I did during the idea generation process. My main consideration is the exploring concept of leisure and finding inspiration through common activities in museums and galleries.


First concept:

taking shelter in galleries on rainy days (weak!)

Second concept development:

Reactions when looking at pantings

Looking at interpretation of objects in different art movements and painting styles

create a witty poem about gallery experience that runs sequentially in 6 frames series of A4 collage

drawing objects

Galuh liked my doodle of the people doing figure drawing of cats for a shallow reason that we have been sending cat videos to one another recently. I immediately agreed because the idea is simple, humble and people are addicted to watching cats videos, therefore attention grabbing! We stitched up the other doodle pages into a logical narrative sequence.

Animation title: So Much Feline, So Little Time

The narrative follows a guy who went to an art gallery to draw cats. He came in during the opening hours to study the wide array of cat paintings the gallery has from different art movements. He got engrossed observing them that the paintings of cats starts to walk through the historical timeline of visual art. The sequence is interrupted by the security guard who told him that the museum is about to close. He walked out of the gallery obsessed, and craving for more. The final shot advertises that he can sees more feline for a whole year long with just £5 showing a page of his sketchbook with badly-drawn cats.
