Animation Notes.

1) Inspiration 

My animation is about a farmer, cutting down a forest behind his field, while cutting down the trees, the framers notices 5 larger mushrooms. To add humour to my short film the farmer will pick up the only red mushroom and eat it. This red mushroom is poisonous and turns the farmer crazy. 

I plan for my animation to look like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGkseGFQLh4


2) How i am going to do this?

I plan to create my animation on After effects and Photoshop.  

I will be using PhotoShop to create the character, background and objects, i will then use After Effects to create movement. 

I will need my mac laptop as that has the software i need, such as After Effects and Photoshop. All my work will be created in college. 

3) Who with? 

I plan to work with my friend Dayna. I think working with Dayna will make my animation a lot better then it would be if i was on my own, working in pairs helps when stuck on a certain task. Both of our ideas will be put together. 

4) Whats it going to look like? 

My animation is going to be 2D computer animated. Bright colours to apply to children, simply drawing for the main characters and objects although were planing for the background to be more detailed. 

5) Whats the structure?
