Animation and initial reaction to the new brief.....

Second year. semester two. Time to have a go at animation using 3DsMax.

The brief this semester is to have a go at animating one of Aesops Fables for a new childrens tv channel.

As an initial reaction, it looks like the tricky bit's are going to be:

A) Retaining the original moral but making it relevant to todays children.
B) Creating models with sufficient personality and character to maintain a childs interest.

As children of different ages have different interests, I asked the tutor which age group the animation should be aimed at. He suggested around 6 years old. 6 year olds prefer more action to cutesy characters so I'll aim at quite a lively script.

Ok, first things first, I'll have to have a read of the stories and choose one that has a current moral meaning.......
