Unit 5: Animation - Initial Ideas

The following are my initial ideas for this Unit, I wanted to get this stage down so people could get back to me as & when. I want to get this idea finalised by the end of the week. Mainly so the script writing process can begin.

Idea 1 - "The Chase" - Clumsy Tony the lamp has blown his bulb, he has to venture to the vast supply cupboard to capture his glass counterpart.

Idea 2 - "Frankenlamp" - An expired lamp is brought back to life when an electrical surge stikes the building, the lamps return has made him Oafish - clumsy & abnormal.

Idea 3 - "An Urgent Message" - A lamp clumsily battles to unplug himself from the wall when his owner suddenly falls ill.

Idea 4 - "The Return" - A man dies & is reanimated into the form of a lamp in his widows house. The man has to somehow come to terms with his new form.

Idea 5 - "The Powerplay" - A lonely unpopular standard lamp does his best to impress the beautiful Shana lamp to his own clumsy misfortune.

This time I will NOT even elude to which I prefer, they are all written out plainly so no one can favour what I may like. I need honest opinions here not opinions I'd prefer to hear.

Besides ideas are very cheap at this stage I understand that now, I just need to find something that works & if none of these do I will write 5 more until one does...

Anyway I hope everyone is doing good!

Unit 5: Animation - Introduction

Hello Everyone,

I just thought I would post my snippets up so I can reminisce when we are at week 5 and I (hopefully) have a 1 minute animation and everything else required by the brief. It's quite weird to think about it really, I don't think it dawned on me till today that. We are given random sheets of paper and in 5 weeks they are to be much more then that paper... they are to be ideas...

The object I received is pixar through and through which is probably where my research will take me, but I will sway from this idea because this little animation is going to be mine with my stamp on it. I have had a few ideas also which I will post below :)

Anyway lets get onto the snippets...

The adjective I received is above, I went as far as to look at the definition to see the scope in which I could extend to my standard lamp. 1.Stupid, uncultured, or clumsy - oafish behaviour I have a couple of ideas kicking around this mind of mine, I wonder which will stick...

The image above shows my object which if you read above you already know but alas I will go into this a little. I have looked at numerous lamps I'm thinking of going with a lovable look but who knows I could go the full 180 and go old/rustic...

Anyway you take the two components above and you get...

My initial ideas will follow this post, separate because I believe the human eye can only take looking at so much clutter. My posts from now on will be more succinct and express individual components toward the project.

I hope everyone enjoys my posts for this Unit we are just going to have to see the direction this little lamp takes. I'm sure in the near future I will be looking back on this piece of paper as what was nothing and what now is "The Oafish Standard Lamp".

More to come!!
