I made a choice to use the gods and goddesses of Hawaii as inspiration for my FMP. My original plan was to base my animation on reality and document the movement of people and tribes from around the world. After feedback it was suggested that I was naive on the subject and come at it from an western point of view where I view these people as exotic. I personal didn't feel the same but in order to not offend anyone I moved onto a more accepted topic. By studying folktales I feel I will have creative freedom to go about it in my own way.
I decided I'd only study the female gods as i'd be using rotoscoping therefore it would make more sense as I could film myself for parts. I narrowed it down to five goddesses that most interested me mainly due to colours and movements that would be associated with their characters.
Pele Goddess of the volcanoes, as well as fire, lightning and wind.
Hina Goddess of Moon.
Laka Goddess of the hula.
Poliahu One of the four goddesses of snow. The rival of Pele.
