Animation Thoughts

I watched the making of Lee Evans entrance animation to his newest dvd 'Roadrunner'. Although the dvd nor the theme of the animation isn't based around what i am currently after i enjoyed learning about the process of the animation and it reminded me of aspects of animations i haven't thought about, such as 'sound and music'.

The animation for this dvd was to help show a comedy moment that would introduce the comedian Lee Evans and therefor could be referred to more of a trailer. What i liked about the animation is that moments were in time with the music e.g. text would appear with a sound and music would quieten down. Also any parts of the animation was in sync with music and live action.

This had lead me to think about a couple of ideas i could do for my animation although its too early to choose what to do i would like to write out my current ideas for later.

1) Include live action scene maybe at the beginning of the animation to make it look like players are about to be playing the game which then becomes the animation of the gameplay.

2) A animation that builds the game in front of the viewer with text notes showing characters and elements.

3) a story driven animation were the game intro is show first then a animated explorer version of the game with voice over.
