Project
Context In a world that has flooded as sea levels have risen, land has become a rare commodity. The remaining parts of land are now flown by individuals above the inhospitable sea below. Alone and isolated, Volan soars the skies in search for new land and any other survivors. The idea for this project is to create a short scene of animation capturing a moment of flight of the protagonist and his island (approx. 1 min). This may involve a single camera movement slowly revealing elements of the animated image to suggest the narrative of the piece. In this way, the narrative is found within the image, rather than told as a grand structured narrative as a whole.

The main elements of this project are:

Environment - Flying House and Island Character - Volan Animation of flight (secondary objects)

This will fulfil my ambitions of producing a short scene of animation, establishing the tone and atmosphere of the narrative with strong visual design.

Volan
Coming of age male Reflective of a pioneering spirit, he is determined in his search to find new land and signs of any other survivors, but is yet be tested. Originally a farmer, he the tools and land at his disposal to adapt to the flooded world Additional props ; telescope to pouches, compass.

Home/Island
The home of Volan has been adapted to power and maintain the flight of the island. With limited space on the island, the modifications also serve to maximise the space of the house. Quirky design, with the island as a whole suggesting a whimsical element Growing food, collecting rainwater, crates, barrels
