Week 1: Initial Ideas


Straight away we were all kind of set on a Post-Apocalyptic theme. (This formed our group name.) And obviously going to Barcelona presented us with the idea of using a hot, Mediterranean style location. We started thinking about how to incorporate characters into our environment. We had the idea of an old lady left abandoned in our world aand possibly a cat. I also started to think about layout of the environment and seeing how much of a distance we could cover within our 60 second animation. Above you can see a quick rough layout I did of a birdseye view. I quite liked the idea of the environment opening out and getting more expansive...maybe having a courtyard at the end where its really bright.

We also liked the idea of our environment being deserted, sunscorched and generally run down. The idea of it having been destroyed through war or nature causes seemed appealing to us. This was a good strating point but we knew we had to continue to develop this narrative to get something more solid!
