Telling Tales: Considering the Narrative

Me and Emma thought it would be best to narrow down an idea on the narrative before we designed our characters. This way we would be able to design suitable characters to slot into the story. We knew we may want to create two characters that are opposites of each other to tie in with the "Opposites Attract" title, so we bared that in mind when we considered the story.

Brainstorming

After discussing different ideas and complications for a while, we found ourselves coming up with two ideas that we find aren't overly ambitious yet have the potential to produce good animation. We got there by discussing how two different characters could interact with each other and what it is they could be doing. There weren't that many things we could think of for this that would be suitable for our brief, despite having good visions in our heads. This meant that we had to move on to consider the other titles we had not yet thought of.

In the end the two ideas that we are considering are:

- Road to Nowhere: A small energetic character that tries to get a taller, less enthusiastic character to go on a journey to "Nowhere" with them.

- Leap of Faith/Happy Days: A parent teaching their child how to walk.


We feel that both of these ideas are eventful enough to last for a whole minute, and present the opportunity to focus on the movement of the models that we shall make, without being overly ambitious.
