11 Second Club - This is an online monthly competition like loop de loop and do it in ten which works with a theme for the month. But with this competition it uses a selected sound file and focuses on character animation and making use of the sound so unlike do it in ten and loopdeloop i feel like i would be able to get something beneficial from this more than the other monthly competitions which felt like too small a scale to actually leave any impact on my work or development. With the 11 second club it is a good opportunity to practice simple but effective character design, animation and lip syncing. I think i will do two of these briefs one in hand drawn traditional, the other in digital cgi in order to practice both sides of the lip syncing.
DNAD:
Autism Awareness - This competition entails raising awareness for Autism. As of this point i have little to no knowledge on autism except for an awareness of the concept of sensory overload so i am going to have a lot of interviews with autistic people and carers to fully understand it. I think thats one of the key reasons i'm very interested and invested in this brief as it is something i don't understand and that is something that i want to understand because based on experiences with friends they find it difficult to explain conditions like autism and dyslexia etc so i want to use this as an opportunity to try something that isn't narrative based but also lets me grow as a person, this will in turn help in assisting me in the future.
MUBI - MUBI is an independant streaming service online similar to netflix except they continuosly switch up their roster with a variaty of what id call cult classics and noir movies. But they are also wanting independant shorts with very much a focus on entertainment and film. Their brief is completely open with any possibilities and themes for animations or films, but i dont like this as i think it is too broad for me to actually come up with something effectively or interesting enough to be used.
