Project Proposal.

After reading the assignment outline for this subject i immediately knew what i wanted to make. There is an old Chinese story that I've always liked, it goes as follows:

Synopsis.
After being badly beaten by his giant rival, a man creates a method with which small can overcome big, by observing a strange insect he finds in the forest and defeats his larger, stronger opponent.

Sound Information
This project should produce a good finished product without the need for particularly complex sounds as much of the narrative will show the Protagonist learning from the insect. I imagine most of the required sound will fall in the little bit dialogue and perhaps the creation of ambience. If there were to be music, I'd imagine it would need to be somewhat esoteric, to stay in line with the style of the rest of the animation. I'm very open to suggestion and if you're a sound student reading this feel free to contact me with ideas/questions/suggestions.

This project will only require one, maybe two environments and three characters (Antagonist, Protagonist, Mantis). The majority of the work will be within the animation rather than the creation of other assets. I've spoken with Paul during tutorials and he seems to be ok with the idea, at this point it just needs more development before its clear exactly what I'll need to do to make it happen, but this will happen once I start developing shortlists, storyboards etc for this project. I'll post them when they are done.
