The final project includes a classroom pitch, complete with supporting material such as artwork, character design, and a pitch of the underlying premise.
As with all good pitches, the idea is to throw out a hook and get your audience interested in the idea. If they like it, they will want to know more. And who knows? They might invest in your project!
Our students rose to the occasion and did excellent work. One of the most successful interpretations of the Red Riding Hood brief was by the very talented Ronnie Kaye, who has re-imagined Little Red Riding Hood as a biker girl in a dystopian world.
The brief was a loose one - to re-imagine a classic tale - but with the proviso that it must be recognizably based on the classic fable, and must maintain some sense of the original characters and the conflicts at the heart of the story.
In the case of Little Red Riding Hood, the story is about danger and safety, and about the tension between the need of a parent to keep her child safe, and the child's desire to explore their world.
A great starting point for an animated story.
