Listen production crew

Emily Stobbs
Vicky Greenbery
Liam Mitchell
Hadrian Fletcher

These are the people that are in our animation group.

Introduction

What we are going to do in this assignment is to make animation with any of these three title Rocket Number 9 or What's in the attic or Egg and spoon when we pick what one we are going to do, after picking what we are going to  do we had to plan it all out showing everyone what we are going to do in our animation. Then after all the planning we will start to make the animation bit by bit.

We had to get in groups of four so then making the animation will be more easier to do it because one person can take the picture and the other can move the parts about where they need it.

storyline

The story line what’s in the attic?
So the idea we have so far is everyday objects, doing human activities which involves:
1.       Paragliding – jumping of books or shelves
2.       Climbing – mountains, laptop, buildings
3.       Toy car driving
4.       Toy soldiers- fighting away
5.       Toy dinosaurs – vs soldiers
6.       Zombies coming out of the flooring
7.       Teddy bears
8.       Rockets – exploding things
9.       Lego buildings and figures
10.   Action figures
11.   Police chase Sylvania families vs zombie police squad or Lego squad
The ideas above listed are some of many ideas we came up with, but our main ideas we like are a police chase between Sylvania family’s vs zombies.
Scene 1 – starts off with a boy thinking about what's in the attic and then goes white.
Scene 2-  a book mountain stash, with tissues placed on top like snow, and then see a climber climbing the mountain, at the top of the mountain a Lego man power gliding.
Scene 3- zombie police chase between the zombies and sylvanian familes on cart, and zombies crash and get out and run and trip.
Scene 4 – teddy bear tea party
Scene 5 – toy soldiers shooting at dinosaur which tramples the tea party
Scene 6 – lego towers destroyed by rockets
Scene 7 – toy cars driving about in rally race
Scene 8- all toys move towards the edge of a dusty table to start bowing down to their leader. And then start to chant praise her and then we see who she is (Lorna Spicer. )
