First thoughts on the Brief

This brief is really exciting, due to its extraordinarily open parameters for design. This has really inspired me as i can literally create any piece of animation i want and having read this i have got a solid idea. However how easy this is to execute is my worry.

As we can do what we like i have come up with a simple yet exciting idea, inspired from previous flash games i have played in the past. I want to create a sort of stick man animation, i know it sounds simple and childish, but i want to have a sort of adult humored stick man running through a world in which interacts with the audience, not physically but mentally, i want something that can create a sort of upbeat and happy vibe. My inspiration is from a game i played as a child called Fancy pants. This game has always captured my imagination, not due to its simple joys of playing but just due to how laid back the design was, it had made me create some really embarrassing stick animations on power point with a plot and story line, well i doubt you can call them animations as i was flicking through slides quickly to make them look as though they were moving.

This is fancy pants, a light hearted comical game with a creative edge second to none. The fact that it looks as though anyone could have drawn it makes it what it is. With this style i want some quirky music that just creates a brilliant feel.

This is the path i want to take to create an exciting animation that shows off my abilities and ideas and hopefully creates an entertaining piece of work. I am really excited to start it.

Having scene this short animation before and in class from pixar, its short storyline with no actual dialogue is what i like, its creative and tells a story.

This is the music that i want!

it would go so well!

Another inspiration for this sort of moving drawings is LineRider,another game i used to play from a young age, i found it very entertaining.
