After the Adaptation project, we stayed in the same groups and where given the task of re-adapting the one of the other groups storyboards. We chose a group that did an adaptation of ‘Star and Chain’, using artists such as David Shrigley (main influence on our group’s character design) and David Hockney’s collage photographs as inspiration for the backgrounds. We changed the style completely, both the environments and the characters.
Although the scenes don’t link together perfectly, and the story isn’t completely obvious (visual communication at fault) it is a good attempt by our group. For one thing the characters and visual style, although unaccented by some, many and most agreed that it was style that worked well.
