The Little Prince Title Sequence
There are many features and elements of the story that best represents the story The Little Prince as the prince travels around many planets meeting new people and learning new things. However, I did not want to put in too many of the elements since this is the start or introduction to the story not a summarization of the story. Therefore, I have chosen one of the planet elements to build up my film.
The prince meets a “painter” in the story and asks him to draw a sheep for him. However, no matter how well the painter draws, the prince is not satisfied, only until the painter draws him a box (start of the animation) and tells the prince to imagine there are sheep inside.
The animation starts with a real video of me drawing the box, then turned everything, but the background, into 2d graphic, which demonstrate the feeling of getting into the story. The wiggling effect on the transition from video to animation also helps with it. Then in the animation, the sheep also invites us into the box, and it builds up the feeling of going into a new world, which fits with the theme of the story as well.
