Title of
Project:
|
Here Be Monsters
|
|
Synopsis:
|
The treasure-hungry Captain Cut-Throat leads his villainous crew on a
perilous journey to a mysterious island, surrounded by mist.
|
|
Treatment:
|
|
I aim to make a
3-minute trailer for the film adaption of the popular children’s book “Here
Be Monsters”.
This book is a
light hearted story about a greedy Captain and how he ultimately learns the
hard way that selfishness and greed will leave him alone and empty handed.
The treatment of
the film will be made in stop motion. This is because I feel that children
often imagine their favourite book characters leaping off the page. I believe
that stop motion is the closest to live action with still being able to keep
the characters looking like those in the book.
To keep the film
in connection with the book I aim to have the backgrounds as paintings with
minimal movement.
