Thanks for sharing. That's some good stuff but it's not really what I'm looking for. I will be going into depth about limitations, requirements, purpose, and other stuff. Maybe I should do that before anything else. I have a LOT of topics to cover and focus on in individual posts. I'll move outline up the list.
I can at least tell you a bit more.
Firstly, it's way too long, way to complex, and way too much "extra" for me. Your characters and drama are entertaining but the excessive development jibber jabber won't work for me. By that I mean, I am just one person, not a small studio or industrial animation house.
I'm going to have to model all the sets, props and characters, rig them, texture them, light them, animate them, render them, and composite them into a final video that I then have to publish, promote, etc. etc. etc. Each of those has sub-categories and all are a full time jobs in a studio.
Here's my plan in a previously unpublished nutshell: Everything must be designed with limitations, style, and growth in mind at all times. I prefer quality over quantity so I'll likely keep my animations under a minute if I can, and the dialogue must be super duper tight, trim and to the point, as must the imagery, animation, etc. This will help define the limited "style", whatever that ends up being. Every animation has some. In addition to this framework, I am going to "build up" the experience over episodes. The first episode will feature one character and one background/setting. In fact, I might just feature only the head. The next episode might have the head and shoulders. The next might have another character, a new costume, then a new set/location/background, and so on. Each episode will add a little more to the over-all arc. Maybe nothing new for several episodes while I build something new and complex, like a whole new character or something with a different rig. Similar looking or similarly rigged characters can just be copied and reworked, but all-new characters require all-new everything.
It has to be anti-establishment, anti-propaganda, humourous, educational, beautiful, inspirational, and/or all of the above. I have specific concepts to convey in episodes that will merge into a pseudo-documentary outline that I will share. That will likely be the loose framework unless something better comes along.
While I'm not against doing political satire on occasion, I'd rather attack the systems of belief that support the politics and establishment systems. The puppets and puppet masters are easy to mock. I want to make people question their own beliefs that have steered us unchecked toward oblivion.
I could go on and on and on. And I will. Thanks for you interest. I hope I haven't disappointed you. You might see some of this reworked into a future post.
Thanks for the detailed reply. That's an ambitious project you've got in the works! I look forward to future updates. If you have any writing you think I might be suited for, feel free to toss it my way and I might take a shot at it. I like your focus of getting people to question their own beliefs. Best of luck to you and perhaps we can collaborate in the future. Cheers!
