Abstract

Description

Author's thesis proposal: I am doing a different take on “Saturday Morning Cartoons” from my own nostalgic experience of watching after school cartoons. My show will capture a specific moment in time in my life, where there was no stress and plenty of animated shows to watch. This will be accomplished by animating a looping movie consisting of unique vignettes from original shows in various animation styles that will switch between themselves in a channel-surfing manner as if it were really on TV. The shows will have live-action commercials interrupting periodically, featuring myself, to make the audience feel as if they are watching “Live TV”. This will also be an installation that transforms the space into a stereotypical living room to reinforce the idea of being brought back to simpler times of coming home from school and television.
