The Pitch Project

It's nice to take a back seat on the art side of things for a change and concentrate on re working the initial idea of essay mistakes into a workable script that will help drive the animation, The concept of this series is fast past shorts, each dealing with a period of history i.e the Greeks,Rome,Egypt...I found a brief compilation of these online and it made me laugh. I need to elaborate on them without making them to cute or contrived- Rosie, Will and I discussed how it should be narrated, by a child or a kind of boffin like character called Professor Piddle for want of a better name. Thankfully we managed to get a Mum to record her child reading out part of the script, it did'nt really work. Its a lot funnier when ridiculous statements are read out with an authorative voice and the timing is essential if this is going to work. I have rewritten the script and will record in the sound room tomorrow, then its on to story boarding and producing the animatic.
