Brother in arms project (2D flash animation).

Abstract

This report details the entire production process which the maker had gone through for the creation of this film. It attempts to address the lack of a uniquely Chinese science fiction film in the Mandarin speaking world. It seeks to highlight how the original nature of the production can be changed due to the limitations of time and the production pipeline. It also reflects the author’s decision making process, showing the influences he chose to aid in the production of the film and how he attempts to reconcile a Western dominated genre with Chinese elements. It also addresses some of the problems and benefits of using the Adobe Creative Suite CS4 pipeline.
