Our initial idea was to create an environment which changes, as animation is all about change, from one frame to the next. We liked this idea as it fitted quite well into the 'changes in use of the environment' area of the brief. As there are 2 animators in our group we wanted to have a sort of narrative in our film, rather than just having the only animation as a moving camera around a beautifully modeled, textured environment.
So our frist idea was to have a character be sitting at a desh in a bedroom and having objects in the room pop and get smaller and have the walls creep up on him when he wasnt looking. We liked this idea because it was like the environment changing around the charcter and we could play with his emotions and reactions as we wanted to get as much character animation in this porject as possible.
We spoke to Jared about this idea and long story short, we were told it sucks. We realised that the bedroom was obvious and the whole scaling objects was both cheap and easy animation which we weren't prepared to lose mark on. As well as this, there is almost no research we could have done for this environment because a bedroom is just a bedroom. So now its back to the drawing board and spider diagrams of ideas!
