About The Author: Project Proposals for Printed & Moving Pictures

Printed Pictures 

I intend to produce…

A concertina book based on a narrative of Italo Calvino's life, key events that made him who he was.  

The content will focus on…

Who he was as a person
Events that happened in his life, people he met, places he visited etc.
His upbringing and family, and how growing up around Botany had an effect on his mind.

I will be aiming to communicate...

authenticity, through texture and choice of stock
I want to generate an emotional response
How plants/botany and his parents effected the way he sees the world, his creative mind and how he could imagine anything

To an audience of...

older children and up
fans of Italo Calvino
ilustration/print fanatics

Moving Pictures

I intend to produce…

A Sting made up of 5 frames, each using subtle elements of animation to create atmosphere. I want to create a sense of Calvino's deep thought that goes into his works, using various elements such as plants and clocks to symbolise aspects of his life and personality. (For a documentary about Italo Calvino)

The content will focus on…

Italo Calvino's image/ his office / his workspace
A thought provoking and slow paced atmosphere, using ticking of clocks 
His Background/location/motifs like plants and clocks

I will be aiming to communicate…

Deep thought and consideration
A warm inviting atmosphere - the person he was?(shown through his novels e.g on a winters night a traveller)

To an Audience of…

Children
Illustrators/Animation fans
Italo Calvino fans
