Not a whole lot changed from both of the initial proposals that i wrote. A lot of the content and concepts i wanted to communicate remained relevant right though to the final product.
I INTEND TO PRODUCE…
A series of 3, 2 colour, A3 screen printed images based on my interpretations of selected pieces of writing and descriptions from the Haruki Murakami novel 'Hard Boiled Wonderland & The end of the World', and also reoccurring themes that run through out Murakami's books.
The colours will be Black on all 3 prints with 3 different colours on each; Red/pink for 'Whisky Business', Turquoise/Teal for 'Down the tubes' and a rich, bright Orange/red for 'All eyes & Beard'.
THE CONTENT WILL FOCUS ON (identify 3 specific themes, texts or concepts)
1. Discovery - finding or losing the unicorn skull (depending on how you look at the image)
2. My distorted depictions of characters or events from the book.
3. A 'golden beast'/ unicorn skull features in both parts of the story, so will be featured somewhere in all of the series of prints, some less prominently than in others.
I WILL BE AIMING TO COMMUNICATE (identify 3 specific messages, ideas, moods etc)
1. Otherworldness - the prints will feature a collection of weird looking elements and compositions.
2. Confusion - a feeling felt by for the majority of the story by both of the two lead 'narrator' characters.
3. Deterioration - The prints will all have a certain amount of distressed textures and paint effects on them, certainly around the edges, which is a sort of metaphor the the world starting to fall apart from the outside.
TO AUDIENCE OF…
1. People familiar/unfamiliar with Murakmi's work.
2. People who enjoy chunky, bright screen prints, with a few blemishes.
3. Anyone appreciates visual metaphors with a touch of surrealism about them.

I INTEND TO PRODUCE…
A 15 second animated sting, using Adobe After Effects based on my interpretations of writing and characters featured in the Haruki Murakami novel 'Hard Boiled Wonderland & The end of the World', other reoccurring themes from Murakami's work.
It will focus more on the panning, zooming, rotating rather than "animating" what I've drawn as such. Subtle movements will be included as the sting takes a 'journey/adventure' around the elements i've drawn from one of the pre-screen printed designs.
It will be accompanied with a suitable piece of instrumental music and sound effects to enhance the imagery. As long as i keep a consistent feel between this and the printed work i produce then that'l be a success.
1. Discovery - of subterranean tunnels/laboratory, and of a groaning unicorn skull.
2. As with the prints , Surrealism.
3. Mystery - ie: what the hell is going on here?! A feeling that often came to mind when reading this book.
I WILL BE AIMING TO COMMUNICATE (identify 3 specific messages, ideas, moods etc)
1. Adventure - as the 'camera' moves from illustration to illustration, giving the viewer little snippets of them all.
2. Confusion - as (to the uninitiated) these pieces are full of (seemingly) random and mashed together people & creatures. Its also something the characters in the novel commonly feel.
3. Searching/Finding or Losing. The way the 'camera' moves indicates that the viewer is looking though these underground tunnels/tubes.
TO AUDIENCE OF…
1. People familiar/unfamiliar with Murakmi's work.
2. People who enjoy basic , quirky animations with accompanying sound fx.
3. Anyone appreciates visual metaphors with a touch of surrealism about them. Plus there aren't a whole lot of animations based on this guys work, that I've come across.
