Connor Milligan: April 2015

Idea proposal -

Our idea is to make a How To/Step by Step factual program. The video will contain facts, tutorials, and tips. In the program we will demonstrate how to sculpt. There will be a presenter who is also making the sculpture who will talk the viewers through the step by step process from creating your basic shape to getting the finer details. We will use graphics to show the equipment needed and the best clay to buy. The age of the target audience will be varied but all viewers will be interested in sculpting/animation/3D design etc. The audience will be both male and female because anyone can enjoy the video. The idea is very creative and very hands on. The viewers will hopefully come away from our tutorial at least knowing how to do basic sculpting techniques, and some will be able to create more detailed sculptures. It will be set in the studio using the multi camera setup. the centre camera will be our main camera but we will cut to secondary cameras to get closer shots of the sculpture and the details.

What will the audience learn?

Different types of clay
What tools to use
What certain tools do and why you should use them
How to start your sculpt
The different skills
The different people who do other sculpting videos/ famous sculptors/animators
Step by step instructions

legal and ethical consideration

As we are filming inside a studio we don't have to worry about filming anyone we don't know getting permission to film anywhere public or private. We will make sure that what we are making isn't offensive to anyone. Copyright- if we wanted to use a well known song we would have to check if its copyrighted and ask permission to use it as if we don't do this using something that is copyrighted is a serious offence and can cause serious problems.Trademarks- if we use a product that is trademarked we have to get permission as if we don't we can get in serious legal trouble.

Learn about air drying clay
http://rubberstamping.about.com/od/supplies/p/AirDryClay.htm
Air drying clay is the best clay to use for sculpting, especially as a beginner or for a hobby because it doesn't require a kiln or oven to set it. Also its very easy to obtain and cheap meaning you'll always be able to get it whenever you need it.
