At this point, it was necessary to take a few steps
back and try to look at what the narrative lacked.
Although the project is about communicating biodiversity,
the narrative only addresses ants. Therefore,
it was essential to look at the bigger picture of communicating
biodiversity and involve other life forms.
All the research done about other creatures was
revisited and an interesting connection between
ants, bees and earthworms was found. Each of these
creatures play a very important role in the ecosystem.
Therefore, weaving a story that had these three
creatures as the main characters makes an interesting
story.
After doing some more research on each of these
species, a connection was finally seen between the
three and the growth & reproduction of plants. This
is what the stories eventually convey.
Outcome - The Stories of the Big City Park is a set
of three animations about the significance of small
creatures such as ants, bees and earthworms that
can easily be observed in an urban environment
such as a garden or a community park.
It has a rhyming narrative, to allow easy recall for
young viewers and focuses on the idea of small
presence yet great significance.
