We live in a world of unseeable beauty.

I've been having trouble trying to find a context for my animation. Have no fear though, I think I have finally found it! It takes the form of a TED video by Louie Schwartzberg, titled: Hidden miracles of the natural world.  

"We live in a world of unseeable beauty, so subtle and delicate that it is imperceptible to the human eye. (TED, 2014)

By looking at unseen worlds, we recognise that we exist in the living universe, and this new perspective creates wonder and inspires us to become explorers in our own backyards.

Who knows what awaits to be seen and what new wonders will transform our lives." (Schwartzberg, 2014)

Here is an exert from my Learning Agreement about my audience:

My intended audience will be children who are interested in wildlife, but I hope this animation can also be a tool to introduce and inspire all children to explore the natural world. The ideal placement for my animation would be on kid’s area of wildlife related websites, for example National Geographic, as an interactive and fun video to watch. It could also appear as a short animation before programs on kid’s channels such as Nickelodeon and CBBC. 

The idea is therefore to create a fun animation that explores the hidden world of nature. The narrative will be simple and mainly focus on the transformation of rhinos into unicorns after the sun sets, and the people have left. 

It also highlights rhinos, which may encourage children to find out more about them, leading on to the themes of conservation and the problems that rhinos currently face.
