My idea for the animation is pretty simple. First a cat is walking, and then notices something out of screen. The animation pans to a box with a small doll on the top and back to the cat. When the camera has panned back to the cat it is in preparation stage for a pounce. The sound bite begins:
“Globo …he’s uh, he’s tough, he’s a brute...”
Cat pounces into box and hits it – knocking a pull cord from the doll into the box
“But he’s got a good heart…”
Drags the doll into the box
“And at the end of the picture… he saves the girl”
Cat drags the doll out of the box (looks at camera?)
Here is the storyboard which runs coherently with the above description.
As you can see, the Cat, Doll, Box and Background design are very simple but for a project of this kind and difficult actions such as the above, adding colours and superfluous design aspects could cause the project to overrun the timeframe for the unit.
