Once you have your final developed character with its profile you must then work on the finer details of the animation show/short/film you are creating.
1) Story
Write out what happens in your animation
Film or short
Write out what happens in terms of story and character development in your product.
Make clear what the expected running time of the animation - so how long will it be.
Series
Decide on how many episodes you expect to see in the series and how long each episode will be (running time).
Write a short synopsis for each episode and what you expect to happen.
Research this aspect: for instance Adventure Time has 26 episodes 11 minutes in length for each season/series. South Park started with 13 episodes per season, each 23 minutes in length. Ben and Holly has 11 minutes episodes and 11 in season.
Work out what would be best for your show.
2) Storyboard
We will not expect you storyboard the whole show/film but we would like you to storyboard 2 parts of your show:
i) The opening credit sequence.
ii) A key scene (the opening might be a good choice).
If you're planning a short you must storyboard the whole thing.
Before you begin your credit sequence have a look at these opening credits and workout how they managed to introduce the characters, location and tone of the show.
For the key scene - think about key relationships, moments of action and situations that are typical for you show. Use Adobe Story to draft a script if necessary.
STORYBOARDING - remember camera movement, composition and information. You are getting marked on these storyboards so NO stick men!!
Have a look at this article for storyboarding advice.
This needs to be done by the first day back after the holidays.
