I will create an animated piece, collaborating with poet Mat Lloyd providing the words and audio to the poem 'Two Inches to the Right". It will essentially fit the traditional 'music video' format, lasting between 2 and 3 minutes and use animation to visualise the words of the poem in an experimental narrative format.
The main purpose currently is to use this project as an experimental platform to push my motion design skills incorporating 3D and frame by frame rotoscoped animation, illustration and typography into a rich composited final piece and to provide a promotional video for Mat Lloyd and his current book 'Demo Tape' from which "Two Inches..." is taken. Once the video is complete, due to the subject matter of the poem, we plan to approach relevant authorities/charities about the possibilities of its use for campaigning against violence in young people giving the project scope beyond its current academic purpose.
This will be the follow up video to 'Blokes', an experiment early 2009 which won best overall film in Shortcuts Film Festival 2009 and is being used by C.A.L.M. (Campaign Against Living Miserably)
