Future Screen NI’s Narrative Futures recipient Corrina Askin has completed the Research and Development project “Wilbur Story Moments” exploring the potential of reactive animated shorts to support positive responses in viewers. Working with the award-winning Visual Effects and Animation studio EnterYes, Corrina drew on her skills honed at the MA Animation, The Royal College of Art, London to create a series of animation ‘story moments’ to counter negative visceral or emotional reactions in viewers whilst supporting positive responses with an aim towards future interactive viewer engagement through voice and/or facial recognition technology.

 

This project was funded through the Future Screens NI Narrative Futures award.
