Development
So this week our development took a different direction slightly, we were happy with the story of having this character leave the world above and enter a different, very very different world, but we were still not sure what exactly we wanted this different world to reflect. So we met up and started having ideas such as making connections to the real world and what if this world below had been at war, or something horrible had happened leaving the place ruined and mutations to form. I started to sketch out a new storyboard and both me and Hannah came up with new ideas and designs for characters that reflect this world.
Strengths

Me and Hannah work very well together, she has some really good design ideas and together with my storytelling and character concepts we are able to keep moulding this project into something we are both going to want to work at to make look great.
Areas to Develop
In terms of development for this project next week we need to both keep working on refining our ideas and conduct some more research so what we are doing has substance and meaning behind it.

During the Sino-Japanese war Korean women with Japanese women were sent to comfort stations which the Japanese military set up in various places of occupied China. As the war expanded into the Pacific-Southeast Asian region, many Korean women were sent there too.

It appears that first prostitutes were recruited from Korea to go to comfort stations abroad. Later daughters of poor families were recruited by various means. It is known that frauds in the name of good jobs began to be practiced from this time. There are testimonies that girls were recruited against their own will by coaxing and intimidating. From Korea girls under 21 years old were taken to comfort stations, which was prohibited in Japan. Among them there were even girls who were 16 or 17 years old.

osef Mengele was an assistant to a well-known researcher who studied twins at the Institute for Heredity Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt – he started working at Auschwitz in May 1943.

There he had an unlimited supply of twins to study, and he wouldn’t get in trouble if they died.

According to Prof Paul Weindling of Oxford Brookes University, author of Victims and Survivors of Nazi Human Experiments, hundreds of children were used in Mengele’s experiments.

“I found a record of a prisoner doctor and bacteriologist who was forced to work for Mengele that there were 732 pairs of twins,” he says, and suggests the doctor was interested in genetics. “I think Mengele might have been interested in the inheritance of the propensity to having twins.”

He believes many of the twins survived Auschwitz, although he thinks Roma twins were almost certainly killed.

I am aware that subject matter like Auschwitz is hard to stomach, but it is something that I feel I have enough understanding that I also have a right to remind people of the dispicable things that have happened on this planet. As someone who was once an advocate for spreading my own understanding and visit to Auschwitz for the Holocaust Educational Trust I see no harm in animation taking on many different forms.
