The Story of a Square.

Sooooo.....got my place in Animation and now I'm super excited about starting the brief we've been given; ''The Story of a Square.''.

We must use the square as the starting point and endpoint of the animation. The square can become anything we want, in order to tell the story. It must return to the square after 10 seconds.

So, we saw a lot of examples of different animations and it came to my attention that the more simply, clever and funny they were, the more memorable they are to the viewer. I came up with the idea of using 'The Evolution of Man' except that I didn't want it to be just the boring idea of from ape to man. I decided I was going to try and incorporate some humour into it. So, my plan was that once the stage of evolution came to the usual ending of this muscley, ideal male, he would then transform into an over weight, lazy man holding a beer.

 
I thought that maybe he could make a burping sound then too.
 
 
After the overweight man, I got the idea for him to morph into the much dreading Gangnam Style dancer.
 
 
And then, a Charlie's Angels type woman would come out to shoot this much dreaded character to which she would then knock him back into his box, which will end it back on the square.
 
 
As my project involves the evolution of man and morphing into different things, I thought that Fatboy Slim's music video 'Right here, right now..' had relevance.
 
 
I began to start drawing the figures I need for my animation.
