Recession Project

For this brief we were asked to provide a video of what the recession means to us, wich could have been in any medium we chose. As animators we ofcourse chose to make an animation about this and thought that it aslo was a great way to show our thoughts visually.

The plan was to film ourselves around town trying to find out what the recession means to 'us as students'. However the recession hasn't made much of an impact on us at this particular time thus having ourselves on film thinking about something to do for this recession project whereby we create a parody.
The footage would have then been rotoscoped in each induvidual style and things we say would/could have been drawn over creating a visual image of what was being said.

We sadly didnt get to rotoscope the footage as we broke up over the holidays and didnt have the videos that we needed to animate our individual pieces. The editing of the video also took slightly longer than planned and somehow managed not to have the edited piece.

But here are some footage that we took (keep in mind, these are not the edited videos but we did want to keep that hand held camera feel to the animation) -

The Establishing shot.....


Also the establishing shot, would have been eddited together.....somehow


What the recession means..... the following vids after this woud have been editted inbetween parts of this vid.


People playing for money, surely they have been affected by the recession.


The plan here was to animate someone commiting suiced while the word recession was buzzing around him showing that the recession pushed him over the edge. (not supposed to be gory)


Amit acting desperate for an out-door toilet that needs to be payed for to use.


This time he did pay for using a public toilet, showing that we are required evn to use toilets... so I guess we (our group/students in the same possition as us) are affected in minor ways such as this.


You get the joke...


Thomas demanding to be payed.
Agen another simple ways just to gain extra money.


We managed to get a quick interview with a staff member in GAME. He sure got affected by the recession, however this has little impact on students who doesn't work.

And finally, the best fun fair ride they could afford... LOOK AT SHAUN!!! HAHAHAHAHA
