Project Proposal - Exploration

The major component of STI is about "learning" and "making". I am require to learn new sets of skills to produce an artefact with narrative component within a given timeline  (9 weeks).

The skill sets that I would like to learn within this 9 weeks is 3D animation and video editing. The story will be constructed as a non-linear narrative that branches to different ending based on the decision choose by the user. 

The story will be delivered by using Youtube - interconnected Youtube video. Targeting teenagers who loves to watch Youtube and animations.

The project purpose is to show user enjoyment happens outside the house.
