Extended Practice: Initial Ideas

Extended practice is a huge undertaking. Being the biggest project we've ever been set, it will require a huge amount of commitment. From the very start I wanted to create an animated final piece. I've had an idea since around last March for an animation that I felt should be at least a couple minutes in length. The initial idea was to create an animation that centred on a 10 year old girl who lives with her dad in Los Angeles. Her dad is a cop who she really respects and admires. Her world comes crashing down when she finds out her dad has shot dead an unarmed black teenager. Then the rest of the animation is centred on how their relationship falls apart and then whether the daughter can ever forgive her dad.
