Group Project - New Idea Development

Peter McVerry Trust Idea

The new animation I had in mind for the Group animation would be a text-based animation, with imagery and maybe characters to go alongside it. The animation would be done in a cut-out style, where I hope it would be bright, colourful and an overall positive looking piece. I want the pacing of the animation to quick, but not so fast that it can't be understood, so I feel I may need to ignore some of the dialogue to focus on the more important aspects the original video.

Story Outline;

The animation opens with an arrow zigzagging it's way up to the top of the screen, as the works 'Safe Pass' appear on the trail it leaves behind. The arrow continues up and makes a sharp turn right as a set of workman's clothing drops onto it, seemingly amazed by it's own ability to move. Behind it, like a neon billboard, the words 'Work Clothes' flashes. The jumpsuit moves right, along the trail, where the arrow has dropped suddenly. The jumpsuit jumps off the edge, and as it disappears below the screen, books, pencils and other educational material bursts up like water splashed up onto the screen as he talks about getting into college. The camera jumps down to follow the jumpsuit, it has become like normal clothing stuck in the wind as it falls. In the background, various explosions and clustered shapes mimic the sense of chaos as the screen grows darker. The jumpsuit falls below the screen, just as several hands rise up with a burst of light, weaving around the screen. The jumpsuit is perched on the last hand to rise, looking confident as the scene ends.
