starting ideas

I knew from the start I wanted to make a short film for this project. I feel my film skills need to be challenged more as I've often shied away from creating a full length animated short with a proper narrative behind it.

I was torn between making something with a serious message and making something silly. After a few discussions I realised I wanted to go back to the roots of my animation and go with something funny. I felt I would enjoy making this more as I always like making ridiculous irreverent designs and little animations so this would be an excuse to scale that up into a bigger project. I also wanted to take the opportunity to improve my comedy writing/directing skills especially visual comedy.

My writing skills aren't a strong suit for me so I knew I should keep the story for the animation simple. I want to make something that I would personally find funny and hope that my similar demographic would also enjoy it. So my target for this animation would be young adults who still watch cartoons.
