I think the animated documentary film Waltz with Bashmir was a good template. It tackled the 1982 Lebanon War thorugh the eyes of a solider and his quest to regain his memories. I think animattion was a great tool for such story and genre. The grotesque violence could only have been mimicked through animtion and would not offend anyone. Attached along is the trailer and art style.
This time around I wanted to challenge myself and go for an artsy style as seen in Kung Fu Panda’s opening dream sequence. The grainy texture and somewhat absract drawing style would be a good fit for my concept.
