List of morals

I personally consider morals as the key role to any story you can possibly tell. I've decided to go through some of the lessons that I find significant to myself and I will see how successfully they can spin their own story. By researching into my own interests and hobbies I will see how I can tie it all effectively together and develop a tale. Everyone has their own personal interests and they are typically the best starting point that any story can have. As they can possibly lead you somewhere new and change how you may think about the world too.

Calvin and Hobbes; Moral relativism.

1. Moral: Overcoming own weaknesses and accepting your own flaws
2. Moral: Exploring the world and get a more enlightening perspective of it.

Story developing

When it comes to story writing the beginning questions that should be asked is why are you writing a story? What do intend the message for this story to be? Many of the more successful stories use morals as a guideline to develop a working world, it leads up to the important message. These stories constantly say something about the world you live in. This is shown evidently in animations as well books. All fables give you sense of perspective and teach an important lesson, this comes in as more important to a younger generation but it still speaks to older generations as well. To give a moral to a story also emotionally invests you to the characters, about their struggles to reach that lesson.
Two animations I have seen that speak of  this message is 'Sintel; with every revenge there consequences' and the 'Dam keeper'.

Sintel is a cgi animation that efficiently blends the fairytale element with reality and tells a significant story with a moral. The animation showed the struggles of a character and gave a lesson of how you can easily lose sight of your goals, that bitter emotions you harbour will inevitably ruin you and all the time will be wasted. Perhaps one of the more darker tales for the lesson learnt.


The Dam keeper was side project by the staff working on monsters university and the animation alone is inspiring to look at. The characters are simplistic and expressive based on painting and the message it tells is important. A young pig that is often bullied by his classmates keeps the darkness away but how you keep that negativity away when it surrounds is incredibly important.
The video that discusses the animation is linked above for in depth talk on how it was developed and the moral to it.

Story Writing

When creating an imaginative story there needs to be a good comprehension of how a story is developed. With this project I plan on working out the common writing methods to a story. One of more favoured books of my own childhood was the Firebird by the ladybird book series, this small book successfully managed to have a large story take place and have the illustrations complement the events going on seamlessly. Both the writing and imagery should be able to fit together with a story, even better if they do not require to be codependent on each other to achieve a story.

The next children's book I plan on looking at is Billy Twitter and his blue whale problem. This book is lacking in the writing area but it portrays a tale through the lovely illustrations. These illustrations have a certain depth about them and a sense of life seen more often with the rise of digital art. The illustrations manipulate how the characters look so they can have a unique style. Typical anatomy and expressions are altered dramatically by the artist Adam Rex and I personally find the approach inspiring on how far you can change real life people for the sake of style.

Lastly the book called 'Vicky's new hat' another one of my childhood stories. This book knows how to create another fantasy world to explore with anthropomorphic animal similar to Beatrix Potter without making it seem unusual. I also plan on researching Beatrix Potter and other fairy tale classics and how well they tell a story that younger audiences will be able to enjoy.
