So at the moment im still stugling to figure out what question i want to answer for the MHC breif, i have narrowed it down to 3 questions out of the six which isnt to bad but they all seem pretty interesting and dont want to miss out on a favourite.
so my 3 questions are:
Does an obsession with the attainment of ‘realism’ limit our sense of what contemporary digital animation might do? (this was an early favourite)
What is intertextuality and can it help us to understand the constant appeal and popularity of animation? (I'm not going to lie, I dont entirly understand the meaning of intertextuality, but im very keen on finding out any more factors that enhance appeal and populatity of animation)
What is the relationship between 'originality' and 'repetition' in the context of genre production? (Shreck and the rest of Dreamworks instantly springs to mind when i read this, although this is only properly coverd in the very last lecture and although they say they will put things on studynet to help research i still feel it could set me at a little dis advantage)
Actually just looking back at what i said, it looks like i might be leaning slightly towards the first one, but i want to wait and see some of the questions in the coming lectures to see what exactly they are looking for. For now i think general research and a look at my new dvd of pixar shorts specifically john lasseter's early work would be a great start and an awsome way to spend this quiter weekend.
