this and that.

This was the animation i created for my fmp. i chose to do my project on penny loafers as i had real trouble deciding what to do and by choosing something very mundane that not many people really thought about, and some not even know what it looked like. By choosing this object it allowed me to do whatever i wanted with it and develop some quite obscure ideas around it.

the basic storyline is that the person slices, toasts and eats the loaf of bread, with pennies spread over like marmalade. the loaf and pennies that they are eating then become actual penny loafers on their feet. they then walk through town to a duck pond, take one shoe off and then feed it to the ducks, as if it were bread. they then walk through a city to a vending machine and use the spare penny from the shoe they have left to buy a new shoe, so then they are back with the full pair of shoes. they make a phonecall to a friend with the penny in their new loafer and talk to their friend. after the conversation is over the focus shifts to the friend, you see the penny come down the pay phone as change. they then walk through the park and to their house. after entering the house they then insert the penny into the loafer on the table. Invest in a penny loafer then appears on the screen, as the person is putting their penny into it as if investing into a bank, as well as promoting the idea to the audience of going out and buying or investing in a pair of loafers.
