Science Museum - Time Travelers Guide

HOW TO VISIT THE FUTURE


HOW TO VISIT THE PAST


These are the two main final pieces for my Science Museum Black Holes brief.
A lot of time and effort was poured into these animations.
The idea of the pieces was to use Black Holes as a starting point to get young children interested in science, so I felt that the best feature of black holes is the possibility to use them for traveling through time and so, the Time Travelers Guide was born.

The aesthetics were created to resemble a box, using a very cardboard and paper textured theme because I felt that children of that age range would be familiar with them through Arts and Crafts lessons from school.
The narration is a little quick merely due to time constraints and also because it's the simplest I could make the script.
I didn't want to over-simplify the idea of how to travel through time because part of the magic of time travel is understanding the ideas behind it.
The animation is supposed to appear very natural. The characters and objects that are animated on screen are meant to appear as though they are being physically manipulated by people outside the frame using lollipop sticks.

Overall I'm pleased with the result. I'm definitely glad I didn't leave the pieces as animatics because I wanted to create at least one piece of work this year that I could say I was proud of.
