In my project, aimed at teenage girls, I’m building a series of animated movies for mobile phones. The movies address issues that women
in this age face. Body image, self-knowledge and sexuality.
The user can download one piece of the clip, which is one part of the full
screen. When four girls hold their mobile phones up simultaneously they can watch the whole piece together. Their separate screens
function as one larger screen. It involves the challenge to bring a group together and encourages dialog amongst the users. At the end of
each animation they will be offered to choose between two options of how the story will go on. Right after voting for the next part they can
go on watching the stream on their phone.
Again, each of them receives only one part of the animation. They have to stand close and find the right angle between the phones in order
to see the complete animation, which gives the application a game character. The sound of each mobile phone speaker will contribute
differently to the soundscape of the animation. The shape of the phones aligning shapes the way people will stand around it, figuring out
the puzzle.
The narration’s content evolves from the adventures of a girl called “Lu”, the heroine of the story, dealing with specific challenges she is
confronted with. She has a pet, family and friends. Her story will be told in several episodes.
