Towards the end of the animation, there will be a scene where the young animator sits down and watches a film, the film wil be on screen for roughly between 5 seconds and 10 seconds. I was struggling to think of what sort of film the young animator would watch, however when I was in a meeting with my tutor, she suggested to have him watching an animation. We discussed the possibility of having May the Cat in an animated video on the screen, however it then occurred to us that it wouldn't make sense when the video closes and has the drawing of May on the back.
We then decided that the film should be an animation in a different medium, CG or perhaps Clay-mation. I thought about trying my hand at CG as I have done some Maya animation at college, however I haven't touched it since so my skills will be very rusty, however, only recently I have acquired a clay animation set, so I decided to go down that route.
The short film will consist of a single clay animated character who appears on the screen, who will then interact with an object of some sort before cutting back to the young animator. I am hoping to create something similar to Morph.
There are many examples of just a clay character interacting with the real world, I personally find it to be one of the easiest forms of clay animation as it doesn't require a set, it's just clay characters on a desk interacting with pens, pencils and phones, another example of this is the Klay World animations from the early 2000s:
This short 10 second video will take roughly between a week to a month to complete and will need to be animated as soon as I get the chance, i'll have to create a short script for the film along side the actual production I am creating.
