Heres an intro to my second artifact... Rainbow! My idea is to redesign the characters for a modern audience. To aid me in this Ive created a client, CBBC and pretended that they are developing a remake of the Rainbow franchise. The difference between the original and this adaptation will be the main characters, (Zippy, George & Bungle) the time set will be when they were kids. And! it will be an 2d animated cartoon.
I feel this will be an interesting subject for my PRP because its a adaptation of a franchise that will be aimed at an audience that will have little or no identification of the original franchise.
So what I set out to do was re-invent the chracters to a degree, I knew they were going to 'child versions' of the originals but I wanted to play with 'updating' the aestetic, even totally redesigning a character.
Zippy - I didnt change Zippy that much, just updated his look with a Tshirt, skateboard, trainers. Zippy is the most distinctive character so keeping him close to the original was important.
Bungle - I changed Bungle alot! The original Bungle look didnt really suit his personality (what a weird sentence) so I made him cute but also looks as dependable as before.
George - the same applies with G as with Zippy. Keeping him recognisable to the original is important so as not to damage the original license.
