Thesis Proposal:
In the decades that have recently passed there has been much fighting and legislation in America to assert equal human and civil rights for all its citizens. The truth, however, is that legislation is a means of enacting punishment for those who don't adhere to policy. True change comes from within one's mind and equality has to be demonstrated in order for the change to be initiated. By means of an animated television series reaching young women and men ages 13-21 this modeling of values could be an effective way of asserting human and civil rights and possibly affecting cultural mind change in American youth. Nikky and Jenna is a television show idea that has unique styling, progressive under-tones and laugh-out-loud humor that could meet the objective of initiating a change of viewpoint toward a more equitable American society. This type of vision could be realized in a boutique setting of a small animation house as opposed to a larger house where "tried and true" entertainment is produced. Since a smaller house need be employed, a new means of production need be established in order to meet the parameters of effective production in a smaller production venue. By creating a short animated clip from a scene from this show idea could demonstrate this means of production, illustrate the show's style and give a sample of its humor that could in turn generate interest in this proposal for a new T.V. show.
