Locations, Props and Tecchnical Requirements

Locations:

Obviously, some of the music video won't really have a location, as we will shoot it in a dark room with the OHP, and the scene will be a forest.

For the real life part of the film, we want to shoot it somewhere attractive, similar to the forest in our animation. This is because the wolf has come from this animated forest and we want to match the place he goes into to the animated world he exits.
The pictures below show my garden, which has a few forest like bits, where we could go into the tree's with the actors. It also has an opening where the wolf could seem to come out of, as it could be the passage to the shadow land.

We also thought the street outside my house could be useful for the rea life scene, as with the right camera shots with the band it could look quite artistic.

Props:

We are using paper/card, scissors and compasses for the stop-animation part, as it creates the shadows well, and is simple to use.

We will be using the OHP shown below to project the cut outs onto a wall, creating the shadows so we are able to take photos of the wall for the stop-animation.

We are hoping to find a friend who owns or knows someone who owns a husky dog, so in the "real world" part of the film, when the wolf goes from the shadow land to our world, we have a wolf-like dog to take part in the film. However, if we cannot find one we have other ideas, like using the camera as the wolf's eyes.

Technical Requirements:

1. OHP (Overhead Projector)
2. Camera to take pictures for the stop animation
3. Video recorder for the real life part of the film
4. Tripod to balance the camera so our stop animation works
