Drop - by Osamu Tezuka

This short film is directed by one of the most famous Japanese animator Osamu Tezuka in 1965. 

Simple character and story,but very nice storytelling, script.

Reference: The Polyphonic Spree - The Quest For the Rest


This is a good example showing what I try to achieve.

Aim and Learning Outcomes

Aim
I aim to explore the realm of interactive narratives within animation. I hope audience not only enjoy watching the animation in front of the television, but also involve in it.  What I mean is I hope audiences can act as a part of the animation. To achieve this I need to have a comprehensive understanding of new media. I see this is a good chance to learn new skills to create typical animations.

Learning Outcomes
1. To improve computer skills (software: flash...).
2. To research the areas of interactive narratives currently being used.
3. Continue to improve the skills of stop motion.
4. Being able to create aesthetic scenes of animation.
5. To explore the soundtrack for animation.
