Over the summer holiday I have been thinking about the diploma project. At first I wanted to do a short stop-motion animation. I was inspired by gothic art, especially dolls, and the film "Alice" by Jan Svankmajer, 1988. I wanted to do a strange disturbing animation with dolls that I had made. However, making the dolls sounded like something I probably wouldn't be good at. I decided to think of other things that I could do for the project, and, as I have enjoyed making short comic books whilst I was younger, decided to design and start to write a graphic novel, similar to a Japanese manga style.
I like the "Scott Pilgrim" idea of making the comic/film similar to a video game, but can't find a way to put this into a story. I also like the superhero idea, especially the one used in "Kick-ass."I want it to be a story about a kid in high-school, presumably including him falling in love with a girl that is maybe "out of his reach." This is cliché, but I think this will work and add charm to the story. The other elements of the story I want to be original, however it is hard to think of them.
