Need a Musically Minded Animator 2011-02-14 00:42:01 Reply

I'm looking for an animator who's willing to put up with my interpretations of Classical Music.

The project is to make an animation to go along with the 4th Movement of Hector Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique", March to the Scaffold. The entire symphony is highly programmatic, so the interpretation that needs to be done will be about the finer details, not the entire content of the piece.

In "March to the Scaffold." The main character (Berlioz's romanticized version of himself), after attempting to kill himself by opium overdose, dreams that he has killed the woman he is madly in love with and has been sent to prison. The piece itself is the process of Berlioz being marched up to the scaffold (hence the name) and being beheaded (By guillotine in this case, given the time he wrote this.)

I already have worked out many of the finer details and have how the entire episode would play out, but some other thoughts on what could possibly be happening in the piece would be nice.

I suffer from a debilitating case of artistic ineptitude, and lack the skill to complete this myself, so If anyone here is interested and would like to work with me on this, I would be thrilled.

Damn, I'm a fan of the 5th movement myself. So epically charged.

The Witches Sabbath would be fun to do as well. I just picked the 4th because it's the shortest and I've had experience doing various analysis projects on it before.

Could be fun.. Do you have the actions mapped out(written) to the time of the song?

Like: From 0:01 - 0:13 Such and such happens. 0:14 Then suddenly! (specific cues where necessary), etc.

If there is no rush to build this project, then I could help build an animatic (animated storyboard) and go from there. Hell, it could look good being a heavily stylized motion graphic presentation.
