Football friends - Age group aimed at: children (4-11 years old)
The general idea for this was that there was a couple of friends playing with a football in a park and nearby was an old man painting in his home. One of the friends is good at playing, the other isn't. Seeing this, the good footballer demonstrates how to kick the football and show the other friend how it's done. When its the second friends turn, they kick the ball and accidentally sends it flying into the old man's house, smashing a window. The two friends then run away to avoid the old man's revenge, to which he then kicks the ball and sends it hurtling towards the good footballer. It's then apparent that the old man is an retired football player when it zooms in on his trophies he earned in his career.
Pros
- Simple story to portray
- Three characters between three people to use
Cons
- Have to create a lot of objects, taking out unnecessary time (house, trophies, carpets, bushes etc.
Man finds a genie and wants only one wish - Age group aimed at teenagers mostly (13-19 years old)
We came up with a story for the older generation of teenagers instead of making two stories for children. A man finds a lamp, rubs it and out comes a genie. The genie states the man has three wishes to use but he only needs one; the man asks for a woman and makes a gesture of curves. The genie thinks he wants a large vase and grants him it. Before the man sees his wish, he closes his eyes and begins to kiss the woman of his dreams only to find that it was a vase the genie conjures up. He gets annoyed and reiterates the woman, showing he wants to kiss her. The genie slightly understands the wish and grants him a fish, to which it then slaps the man in the face and flops away. Angry, the man shows what he wants (mimicking breasts) and finally gets a woman. Unfortunately for the man, the woman is ugly and he runs away, scared of her. The genie all along was playing with the man and then removes the "disguise" on the woman, revealing that she is actually beautiful. The genie then goes back inside his lamp and leaves the woman sad, seeing that her man has left.
Pros
- Funny story to portray, playing on the comedy genre
- Lots of movement to show off animation skills
Cons
- Over ambitious idea, could be difficult to animate all special effects (mask being taken off, Genie suddenly appearing)
- Possibly offensive towards some audiences watching it
- Animating too many rigs
Football idea revisited
We decided as a group to use the football idea as it was the better of the two and elaborate on it, cutting out some things that were going to over complicate the animation.
The two friends are passing a football between each other, one kicks it good, the other doesn't. The good footballer arrives where the ball is and watches as her friend runs in, tired out and disappointed with herself. The good footballer takes pity and has an idea to show her friend how to kick the ball. She takes a step back, kicks the ball and shows her friend to try out the technique. The bad footballer has a few attempts at kicking the ball until finally she does kick it. Suddenly, the bad footballer realises she kicks it way too hard and sends it hurtling towards an old man who is painting on a canvas. He finishes his masterpiece, takes a step back and admires it when suddenly it is ruined by the football. Angry, he turns around seeing the girls, who are shocked and kicks the ball back. The ball then hits the two girls on the head skillfully. Proud, the old man nods and smiles.
