Logline
“Building Blockopolis is a short documentary video about the development of an edutainment series that focuses on the aspects of physics.”
Synopsis
The video will be a documentary one and at least three minutes long. It is slightly similar to various documentary films, especially “The Pixar Story”, but more brief.
I, CJ Signorino, will appear live-action and address the person sitting on one side of the camera, and various sketches of my hand-drawn characters, including “Jacken DeBox,” will appear in B-roll to back-up my statements of the characters.
The style of the video will mostly consist of montages of my sketches, pictures of me at Disneyland, and my attempts at creating animation on a few strips for the zoetrope. There will also be an upbeat music track with no vocals to give my whimsical view of the cartoon world. Furthermore, the video will be aimed at all ages, as well as people who have yet to understand the basics of physics.
I believe this work is important at this time because in today’s society, there are fewer good role models, and I think it’s high time we give people someone to follow. Throughout the history of edutainment, we’ve had grammar, mathematics, history, but no physics. Physics is all around us and can easily be incorporated to form various ideas, and if we teach students sooner, they’ll be ready for their future in the world of physics.
