2D Digital Animation Proposal- MAA336

                  For this studio project, Athena and Mireya will do a collaboration of a 2D Digital Animation. This animation will be done in Toon Boom Software that the school has provided or, right on our laptops.

The animation will consist of dialogue from and excerpt from the movie, Broadway Melody of 1936. The excerpt will provide guidance of the staging and general movements of the characters to accomplish within the animation. The characters that we will be using are influenced from and excerpt of Lord Byron of Broadway 1929. These characters will be integrated into the setting of the latter excerpt and we will implement key characteristics that the characters had in their own movie.

The general gist of the scene is that the woman character will be vying for the male character’s affections, however the male character will not return those affections and actually will be more freaked out and disgusted by her attempts. In the end, the male character will give in to the female’s whims.

The roles that Athena and Mireya will be in charge of are as follows:

Both will be responsible for one character each, in animation and character concept, and storyboards will be done with mutual input. Once storyboards are finished the two of us will divide the backgrounds equally depending on what is needed for the animation. Any animation that is not character animation will be done depending on who has the least amount of work to animate for their character in each particular scene it’s needed in.

The schedule for this animation is as follows:

Week1: Alterations to Clip and Character concepts finalized

Week2: Break up clip into scenes. Time keyframes in each scene.

Week3: Finish up keyframes, begin inbetweening

Week4: Continue inbetweeining animation

Week5: Half of the scenes should have most of their in-betweens finished. Continue to inbetween the rest  of the scenes

Week6: Continue Inbetweening remaining scenes

Week7: Continue Inbetweening remaining scenes. Begin cleanup and uniting scenes for a complete animation.

Week8: Finish inbetweening remaining scenes. Continue cleanup and uniting scenes for a complete animation.

Week9: Cleanup and uniting scenes should be focused on.

Week10: Animation should be finished and ready to be shown

The finished product should at minimum have clean line art in the animation. Colors will be implemented if there is time for it. Backgrounds will be finished and realized to accompany the animation.
