Brainstorming ideas for future

animationToday, November 5th, we started thinking of ideas for a future animation in the form ofbrainstorming. We were given a list of words, like Splash, Slash & Stretch. I started off by

choosing the word, Stretch. I drew my own interpretation of the word Stretch and then

started writing related stuff, like a mind map, And ended up writing all kinds of random

stuff down, like Google, CBBC and Apple Pie. Here is a Picture of my first Brainstorm:

Initial Ideas

I drew the big picture in the middle, based

around the name Stretch, which was one

of the ten words Mr Seal gave us to use as

our starting point. And then draw lines off

with more pictures of things that the word

Stretch made me think of.


4/13

Initial Ideas

As you can see in the picture, I ended up

with some very random things, like mash

potato and leather shoes. But all of these

things gave me ideas for my animation,

and what props and techniques I can use

to make it look as best as I can possibly

make it. I think it would be hard to make an

animation from mash potato because, it

would move and the result of that being

that the animation wouldnt run smoothly

because the mash potato didnt stay still.

Leather would be easier, but Im not sure what youd do with it, its quite hard to move around,

so I dont know how you would add personality to it if it were a character.

Initial Ideas

I also found on a few occasions that I got

led down some helpful paths, where one

related thing led to another related thing,

but the start is not in anyway, shape or

form related to the end. On the image to

the side, you can see I start with my

chosen word, Stretch and linked that to

Ban Hammer and then linked that to the

forum where that term came from, and a

forum that was created by one of the users

on that forum, and another forum created

by one of the users on that other forum,

and then ended up with the idea of UNIX

based servers.


6/13

Initial Ideas

Here I have found some nice materials to

use in my set and for props, just by linking

my chosen word, with stretchy things, like

rubber bands, and liking that to other

materials like string and then rope, and

leather and so on. This link also ended up

with Film/TV Shows, which was helpful and

that the linked to some related TV Shows

and Films that use some of the materials I

was finding and think of using.


7/13

Initial Ideas

Here I have found more helpful materials,

but this time in the form of readily available

materials that are good for props and set,

but also makes awesome noises for the

background track of my animation. These

materials include Balloons, Straw Grass,

Hollow Wood and Rubber Bands. I may be

able to use all of these materials in my

animation, and if I do I hope to use them for

the uses of both background noise and

set/props for added interest to my

animation. I think that I would enjoy working with some of these materials, although I feel that

materials like Grass, Rubber Bands and Balloons would be too hard to animate because

they wouldnt be still enough to animate as the final animation would not come out smooth.

LO2 - Character Development and

IdeasI have just finished developing my ideas for characters and then refining them. Here aresome of my favourite ideas and characters that I am planning to take further and

hopefully use.

LO2 - Storyboard

My storyboard consists of just a small table drawn on my ideas board with three ideas on it.

Idea 1 is pencil and rubber having a fight on a sheet of paper. Idea 2 was my final idea I used

for my animation, and it contains pencil and rubber watching the TV when someone on the

news says that all stationary will die in the next 24 hours, leaving them in a sorry state.

LO2 Building of Characters and

SetI first started by drawing a final and more detailed version ofboth my chosen characters, the pencil and the rubber. Here is a

scanned in version below. I also created a CGI Version of both my

characters for the title slide and cover.
