I. Project Title: From Sky to the Sky
II. Team Members: Chanel Feng, Luna Feng
III. Concept | Storyline:
1). Who are you going to interview? Or What is the piece (article, poem, story) for the narrative voiceover?
Chanel
The Sky -Wislawa Szymborska
2). What’s the story about?
We should have started from this: the sky.
A window without a sill, frame, or pane.
An opening and nothing more,
but open wide.//
I need not wait for a clear night
nor crane my neck
to examine the sky.
I have the sky at my back, at hand, and on my eyelids.
The sky wraps me snugly
and lifts me from below.//
An object falling into a precipice
falls from the sky into sky.//
Granular, liquid, craggy,
fiery and volatile
expanses of sky, crumbs of sky,
puffs and snatches of sky.
The sky is omnipresent
even in darkness under the skin.
I eat sky, I excrete sky.
I am a trap inside a trap,
an inhabited inhabitant,
an embraced embrace,
a question in answer to a question.//
To divide earth and sky
is not the correct way
to consider this whole.
It merely allows survival
under a more precise address,
quicker to be found
if I were to be looked up.
My call words
are delight and despair.
3). Which part of the story are you going to focus on?
The contrary between Sky and the Sky (mask in disguise)

Montage. (Long shot of the protagonist/ painting transition/ stop-motion animation of objects.)

iPhone/ Tripod/ DSLR Camera/ Stabilizer/ Sound recorder.
2). Which locations will it be shot at? When is it? Daytime/night/unknown? Why?
An empty room.
Daytime.
3). What are some challenges you might encounter and how will you prepare?
a. We don’t have much experience in making stop-motion animation.
(watch tutorials and learn as much as we could before shooting)
b.We have to make a smooth transition from one scene to another
c. the use of green screen
d. cover the protagonist with masks
e. the setting
4). How will you collaborate? How will you divide work? (Gantt Chart)
