E-STING proposal

The idea of this project is to create a short animation that promotes the television channel E4 within an ad break with certain rules that allow it to be shown before and after the watershed without any things deemed unsuitable for the younger audience, such as extreme violence, swearing and things of a sexual nature. It must also contain the E4 logo either as a reveal type situation or it can be shown throughout the ten seconds.

  
When thinking of an idea for my E-Sting I had been looking at some old artwork of mine and I came across a doodle I had done about two years ago, it consisted of two giant bunnies with laser eyes destroying a city on a floating island. This is the basis of what I want but a little more friendly. I like the idea of games like Super Mario Bros where he jumps on objects and they ‘pop’ and Crash Bandicoot when enemies turn into apples, so from this I would like the buildings that he is shooting lazers at to turn into giant carrots, thus leaving him on the island alone with carrots.

So essentially my idea doesn’t have a particular storyline its merely a skit to make people remember the channel and I find the things that are quite surreal and weird are often the things that make people remember and come back. So in a nutshell my ten seconds will be some giant bunnies turning a city into a bunch of carrots with their lazer eyes.

The whole thing should be done as a cut out style either in after effects or cinema 4D. So I can make all of the assets on photoshop and open then into the program ready for animating as I feel that this is the best way to give it the charm and feel of a 2D game.

To potentially promote my final animation I could enter it into the E-sting competition as it would be viewed my a large audience particularly if it won, alternatively and what I think could be beneficial is uploading it to the likes of YouTube, Vimeo and my blog for extra views.
