I found Monday’s workshop really useful, it helped me find the main subject for my animation and define the message I want to send. Experimenting with different subjects made me find the one that I want to explore further. The first step I took was to draw fivd significant moments from David Attenborough’s life. The one’s I chose were: Zoo Quest, Life on Earth, Naming and renaming („Titum Arum”), Dumbo octopus caught on film for the first time, Deeper and deeper (exploring the Barrier of Reefs). After I sketched and explored those I zoomed into how people overrun the world and how that leads into global warming.
The word „drip” is a homonym that connects two very different elements, the problem of global warrming and pop culture. I want to use it because it can bring the world’s problem to a more +public+ place, using things that are already appeciated by youth. This way teenagers might get interested is the bigger issue. In order to illustrate it I used a penguin that transforms into the nike sign (the hipotetical drip), while ice it’s melting and dripping (the actual drip). Also „ice” is a homonym that can help supporting my idea.
