Inspiration (but for the plot this time!)

Having a think about the actual content of the animation itself I was imagining the lightning storm scene from 'Misfits' as a basic idea, a group of people running in fear from a 'falling sky', lead by Chicken Little. Though it wouldn't follow the plot exactly of 'unwarranted panic', the inspired comic that we are doing contains a twist end in which Chicken Little was right, so it is more taking inspiration from the moral and the famous line ''the sky is falling''.

The storm scene which I talked about can be seen near the beginning of this video. Looking at how they are thrown around and the over the top actions and slow motion is what inspired me greatly toward this idea.

Music 

All great animation and movies have scores and music, so this is an important decision. I'm also thinking about which music I would put to the piece as I prefer this idea over dialogue. I also had the idea to include sound effects of the 'storm' which I could look at creating myself or downloading online.

Of course, songs with appropriate lyrics would be very fitting, but perhaps too cliché, leaving me to wonder if my music should be instrumental only with a pace that fits rather than words. I will look at thinking of examples when I begin to storyboard though I feel that a fast pace will be good, think songs that would play in big action scenes.

  1. Like the fact you are considering sound, and indeed a fast pace score to give urgency to your animation. Interested to see how your storyboard is progressing?
