My Pixilation Collage: Storyboard and Treatment

In this final project, I would like to go all out with what I learned during class. I had a couple ideas on what I would like to do mine on, but I finally decided on this one. I would like to include my dog, Fox, in my project since I have always wanted to use him but never had a need for a dog before in any of my films.
The scene starts off with Fox (rotoscoped or pixilation, still undecided) walking into the room and plopping down in front of a television set. The remote just happens to be sitting next to him. He puts his paw onto the remote and switches the television on. During his viewing, different examples of independently moveable parts and animated dialog will be seen while flipping through the channels. For example, I have someone going to act as a newscaster with animated dialog, someone that plays in a rock band with independently moveable parts, and a home improvement show that has some household items that were scanned into the . Then I will include a couple of different commercial that uses looping pixilation, etc. The camera view will flip back and forth from Fox watching the television and gradually getting more and more frustrated that there is nothing that interests him. Then finally, he turns to DogTv and there is a beautiful girl dog on the screen, which catches his attention and he decides to watch her. I will have different audio sounds to represent what is showing on each of the channels as well as a soundtrack that will be playing during the whole minute in the background.
I will have everything in this project either stop motion animated, rotoscoped, or pixilated with no actually video in my project. My project will not be necessarily narrative, but it will be able to flow from beginning to end on the same thought pattern. I am doing it this way because it will be a fun way that is able to show samples of different types of animation by flipping through channels of a television set. I can’t wait to see how it will turn out!


Please forgive the horrible drawings, since they are done on my computer with a mouse. :p

My Rotoscope!



Here is my rotoscope. I based mine off of the original iPod commercials since I have always thought they look cool. So this was a very fun and time consuming project (15+ hours!). It's amazing how much time it takes to animate a 10 second long clip. I really want to work on another one now :)
