For our cut-out animation, we had decided to make an animation about cats at the very beginning since we are all cat lovers. We considered about plots like cats wearing formal suit to work or cats ruling human in office. And we finally decided to make a story of cat going to space as an explorer!
We used black and white as the main color scheme so that we don’t need to buy extra stuff for the project. Lily and Marissa are responsible for technical process like drawing backgrounds and photographing. I am in charge of character design and making puppets. I designed the cat to have black and white pattern formed like a formal suit since I really like the idea of cat wearing suit.
Our project was kind of disturbed by Hong Kong protest at SCAD was closed early at 5:30pm yesterday. After that we went to Lily’s home and started filming it. Her cat became our live model!
MTR service and HK government really sucks. I nearly couldn’t go home last night after filming. However, FIVE DEMANDS, NO ONE LESS!
