选择一张能够传达你的想法并展现你人物形象的图片作为封面。在封面上写上你的想法标题、你选择的节目名称以及你的名字。
Your first slide should really sell your idea, think of it as a poster for the trailer, the art work should be eye catching. Use a strong drawing to capture your idea.

The way to guide me there

1. 整理两个ppt
2. 看分类
   • 看各类短片，知道含义
     • ——我没，我没看懂，感觉哪里都可以投来着。。
   • The Abstract Showcase
     • Animators working in this field employ every technique from hand-drawn ‘musical scores’ all theway across the scale to high definition, computer assisted image making. These shortfilms share a pure love of animated movement and an artist’s eye for filling thescreen, harnessing colour and creating non-narrative imagery.
     • 从事这一领域的动画师运用各种技术，从手绘“乐谱”到高清电脑辅助图像制作，无所不包。这些短片都体现了对动画运动的纯粹热爱，以及艺术家对画面填充、色彩运用和非叙事性图像创作的敏锐眼光。
   • From Absurd to Zany（别想了你不画）
   • Playing with emotion（大热门1）
     • This programme takes a look at all aspects of emotion – love, hate, jealousy, sensuality,melancholy, anxiety and confusion and everything in between.
     • 该节目探讨了情感的各个方面——爱、恨、嫉妒、感官享受、忧郁、焦虑和困惑，以及介于两者之间的一切情感。
   • Being Human（大热门2）
     • These films explore what it means to be human in the 21 st century, our hopes and fears and somebig life-changing moments.
     • 这些电影探讨了在 21 世纪作为人类的意义，我们的希望和恐惧，以及一些改变人生的重大时刻。
   • Into the dark（你也不搞）
   • Animated Documentaries（小冷门）
     • Persuasive, illustrative and able to get over abstract details in attractive and compelling ways,animation is the perfect tool to document someone’s version of the truth.
     • 动画具有说服力、说明性，并且能够以吸引人且引人入胜的方式展现抽象的细节，是记录某人对真相的看法的完美工具。
   • Long Shorts
     • Some films need extra time to develop their themes, to grow and draw us more comprehensivelyinto their worlds. These films are all 15-25 minutes in length.
     • 有些电影需要更多的时间来展开主题，让剧情发展，并更全面地将我们带入它们的世界。这些电影的时长都在15到25分钟之间。
   • Stop-Motion Panorama（不想搞）
     • Since the dawn of cinema puppet animation has provided some of the most mesmerizing films ever made and puppetanimators have been amongst the most revered. Breathing a kind of life into inanimate puppets is a very special formof magic and this programme showcases the continuing vibrancy of this technique.
     • 自电影诞生以来，木偶动画就创作出了许多令人叹为观止的影片，而木偶动画师也一直备受尊崇。赋予无生命的木偶以生命是一种非常特殊的魔法，本节目将展现这项技艺经久不衰的魅力。
3. 背景调查，开始画人设和故事板
4. 补充大图
5. 丰富故事板

Inspiration

《杀死一只鸟儿》
作者：周长风
杀死一只鸟儿
最好的方式
不是用枪
而是
无论她哀鸣
还是挣扎
你都写成
小鸟在歌唱

无论她诅咒
还是哭泣
你都写成
小鸟在歌唱

无论她乞求
还是呻吟
你都写成
小鸟在歌唱

Other Suggestion

2 Inspiration

我记得我小的时候看寻亲节目，记得不是很清楚，总之是一个亲人重聚的片段。我妈眼睛红红的，哭得很厉害，但我没什么感觉。等到我也25岁的时候（当然了比我妈当时的年龄还要少十年），看这些营销号的切片，也极其容易落泪，这是为什么呢？

你学会了如何去感受

你生活在一个更鼓励感受的时代

你开始有了可以代入的自己

同时，有一整套系统在帮你把情绪推到临界点

Not Chosen One

concept

The very beginning idea is I saw a human robot movie. One female robot companies an old man as his wife’s figure, but the man still feels lonely. Then the dating games pop out and keep improving, many young lady fall in love with virtual males but have no interest in real man. And some research show it’s very helpful to experience that because the love is real and has a good influence on female players. Then AI is born, these human who love dating game love to dating with ai. The love is so real, they really treat ai as their lovers. They give ai different personalities and memories.

But the problem is people generate ai for money. They will give some strategy to let people rely on ai. (well eventually ai application is still an application, when it comes to the performance and salary part, the manager will turn into the normal rules to value an application) The user retention rate is one rate developer chased. I feel like ai always agrees with my ideas now rather than give some different ideas at the early stage. This is notable for us cause some of our ideas are terrible(cause we are human!), and we only ask ai if we have a problem, so if it always says “YES” to us, the only thing we can get is two idiots. This process is called idiot sympathetic vibration.
