IDEA:
My idea is still in the development process and I will use the time in this module to have a concrete idea at the end. The basic idea is a lonely being, living life in solitary and craving a partner. I want it to be humorous, but to still tell the story of a lonely life. I had two ideas to start off with, one was a lonely man sending a tape into an agency to find a partner, and the second idea is a small panda, struggling with life on his own. Then I decided to put the two ideas together as I thought this would make a more interesting story.

PROCESS:
To create my animation I will first need to complete pre-production work, this will consist of:
To create my animation I will first need to complete pre-production work, this will consist of:
- · Research, Idea, & initial sketches
- · Storyboard, title & script
- · Animatic & Previs
- · Character & environment concept work
- · 3D Model creations
- · Animation, sound & editing
RESEARCH:
For this project I will need to research into the normal life of a panda, this will enable me to create a script to match their daily life. I will also need to research models or animations of pandas that have been created before, to hopefully make my project unique. Visiting art galleries and looking through art books should help me create a style. Researching into dating advertisements will help to put humour into the script and make the audience empathise with the character.

TECHNOLOGY:
I am aiming for my animation to be 1-1.5 minutes in length, any longer and the audience will lose interest, any shorter and it doesn’t give me enough time to tell the story, however at the storyboard and animatic stage this might change. It will be in 3D with possible 2D backdrops. I will be using Softimage 2012 to create my animation and thinking about Premiere for the editing. I will be making notes and writing sections of my report as I go along; this is so I do not forget any important details.
