"Who's ALAN?" (working title)
After watching Johnathan Hodge's Night Club I thought i'd like to make a similar film. A 2D animation of a rave club night to try and capture/reinterpret contemporary culture.
These parties have outrageous decor - bright, huge, OTT.
The party goers have outrageous costumes - bright shirts, Kigus, animal hoods, anything they want.
The lights are colourful and bright.
The music is loud and bass heavy.
The dancefloors are packed full of people doing all sorts of dances. No one dances the same and anyone can dance how they want without being judged.
I also want to look at the Rave scene and it's culture from another angle. In the past whenever they try to describe acid and other drugs in film and animation, everything seems to go very bright and start melting, I'm thinking Yellow Submarine psychedelic trips.
I want to explore this from a more realistic point of view. I want the film to be from the view point someone at the rave who has taken acid.
Although the film will be quite trippy in style, the realism will be there in the sense, the user doesn't go into another world. Things happen though.
Styles & Scenes
Everything needs to be growing and shrinking constantly.
A lot of dark figures with no features to represent the crowds.
POV film of the user walking around the club.
Scenes of people dancing/skanking.
People morphing into animals
2 people changing from people to rats to people to rats, gurning in the dark.
Going to the bathroom - an escape from the scene.
Bleeding walls (due to spray paint)
Throwing up in the toilet
The lights overcoming the user
Talking to people who speak words (literal words)
Faces coming out of the crowd, shouting, smiling.
Nos balloons - heads growing and shrinking with the balloon.
These are still simple ideas but I think I need to get a loose storyboard and get some film footage in order to make a start at it.
