Gag Lists

Once again we did not get to have a meeting with Kathy, this is not very helpful when we need a bit of guidance. Luckily Derek was available, the other day to help and we realised we needed to make it more gag-based. So, after that meeting with Derek, we went to use a lecture room to sit and watch a few films, with the whole group. Unfortunately, we had to change the script up again, and add any changes to the storyboards we had. We are stuck at a crossroads do we choose to go wholly gag-filled or do we keep it the same but make it melancholy? Connor has taken over doing storyboarding; he is doing very well. Ourania has finished with the character designs, for Vincent, despite this it has taken awhile for one character, so I hope things start to speed up or I will have to give the job out to someone else. Cery’s has happily been creating some lovely background designs. Dani is doing well on the script; we just need the ideas to keep on coming. So, I have been watching loads of Looney Tunes animations, and others. All relating to water, and making a massive list of gags (see figures 10/11) to help us with the jokes needed in our film. The only problem is after a while the set up is similar, and they have been used loads, of times in other animations. So it is hard to adapt it to what we want them to be like in our animation. I have also been working out what body parts they might use and if we had placards what they would say to them. I have also made a start on the tests shots, currently the bubble titles. However I wish the whole film was, further along, we have had so many roadblocks in the script and design, which has been annoying.
