Viewers Perception

After one of the tutorials I have had with my tutors, one of things I noticed on my tutorial sheet is from what perspective will the animation be viewed. I hadn't thought much about this, only seeing it as a third person perspective, similar to that of Toy Story. It also highlights my idea of a secret world, as the toys only come to life when there is no human presence, similar to the morphing of rhinos into unicorns. However I want to keep an element of realism in my animation as well. This bought me back to the idea of viewing it almost as a documentary. In the BBC's Africa, they use camera traps to capture the rhinos behaviour at night, and I feel this could work for mine too. It creates the illusion of spying on something, and discovering something new - like a secret world.
