We kept asking ourselves this: How does one film a mouse doing very specific things at very specific times?
Jon and I are film students at Hunter College, located in New York City. We were accepted into the Film & Media Department's Honors Program last May. Basically this means we get to produce a film under supervision of our Professor, Andrew Lund, without restrictions or guidelines that we had during our other classes. Jon submitted his script, "Fare Game", that tells the story of two roommates and their attempt to catch a mouse in the kitchen.
We started to brainstorm ideas on how to approach shooting this project. Along the way, we came up with stop-motion animation since it will allow us the most control over the mouse's actions. Keep in mind: We both have NO prior hands-on experience with animation at all, but we're up for the challenge.
We're still in the pre-production phase and will start workshopping our idea and Jon's script this week in class. I'm sure things are still going to evolve, but we're going to give it our best attempt!
We'll post some of the tests that Jon has done soon.
