PROJECT PROPOSAL
Animated Story Book; The Three Investigators and The Mystery of Terror Castle.
By Putu Deny Pratama Saputra
- Background
The project focus on re creating the old book from 60s. In this particular project, we pick one of the famous children book by Robert Arthur with title Die Drei ??? or The Three Investigators in English version. The book has been published into some languages including English and Indonesian. 50 books published with some early books got their audio version, it made this book a huge success. However, with the lack of substance of today narrative and the lack of format support for the newer technology , this book is no longer republished. However, the book re published in Indonesia in 2014 with only 10 first titles in paper back format.
The Project that we create will focus on re introducing the book in different format such as electronic publishing and interactive reading. With the advancing technologies, a touchable book has become less attractive for most of the populations. With the latest technologies, we would like to introduce the book in more interesting way such as illustrating the scenes on the book with some animation added in between. To add the attraction, we will create an interesting animation and the audience can interact with the illustration. We will try to make an engaging interactive whereas the audience can have more interaction with the narratives. The reason we re introducing the book is to inform the younger the generations that there is interesting mystery book that focus on adventure and interesting story to follow.
- Objective
The Objective of this project is to re publish the old books from 60’s. We would like to re introduce the book into newer format such as electronic publishing with some interactive that engaging the younger audience to read. Moreover, the other objective is to introduce the audience about old book with rich stories with thrilling adventure that today’s books lack off.
- Recommendation
The book has been re published several times, even in different countries. However, all the format is the same, printed book. Well, it might be because during 60’s-90’s there were no advance technologies like today. Hence, by re introducing them with the current technology, we believed it will also a good way to conserve old reading materials. The book has some really rich narratives with a good flipping point when the characters have to reveal the mysteries in most logical and scientific ways. Therefore, we won’t change anything from the book, including words, dictions, and the other. We simply illustrate the books and animate the illustration to give the audience a feeling of involvement when reading the book.
