Art Style
For our skits we want to aim for a theatrical, paper cut style. So, we've been looking at various theatre sets and paper crafts as inspiration, this should help us in the concept stage to further define our vision of our animation set up. Since we are restricted to certain things in maya, it's reasonable aiming for this sort of set up as it is simplified enough to be easy to work around.

Swimming Act
For the Swimming act we wanted to approach a safe environment so we looked at indoor and out door swimming pool's something that is quite public and safe so our act isn't so harmless and the skits punchline can make sense.

Robbing Act
The Robbing act, for this skit our intended atmosphere is quite roughed up and dark but the skit withholds it's silliness. It's important we keep in mind the cliche of a robber with the striped shirt and mask so his role is recognisable, we are mainly focusing on the corner of streets and alleyways so our robber has a way of jumping out onto the scene and along with out art style it's functional.

Airport Act
The airport act, we've been looking at security baggage check areas and the airport atmosphere itself, our intended idea is to have the airport setting like any other, these images will help us get a clear understanding of what a security check up area looks and how it functions along with additional videos of the process.

Prompts · Brainstorming

Today the team got together and decided to work on possible prompts for the final animation. Here are the outcomes of the meeting. The Wrong Response to... ‘I love you’ The characters kiss and they are suddenly able to look at their future together. When they stop kissing they know they could not be together. The character freezes and starts walking backwards until they are at home (reverse). The character runs away leaving a cardboard cut out. They kiss and one character absorbs the other. A Surprise Party The character enters home for their surprise but no one is there. Normal party but all the guests are on the ceiling and the character is surprised. The character opens the door to all his friends and family, but gets surprised and scared, then runs away. Surprise party but when the lights flicker off the guests disappear then reappear when they come back on (continuous loops of "surprise" being shouted). Strangers that actually like to show up at other ...

Robbery Skit · Evolution

Since picking our prompt some of our ideas have gone through a lot of different changes. This is just a brief run down of how we developed our ideas and got to where we are at.  Location: Alleyway Street Stage with building and Alley props  Victim:  Victim female Victim becomes the robber and robs the original one (abandoned idea) Mary Poppins like bag, robber keeps pulling more and more ideas out  Banana phone pulled from bag confusing the robber (accompanying chosen)  Trampoline used as another ridiculous object to be pulled out, further confusing the robber  Robber hands balloons to victim which he pulls out her bag and she floats away  Police Badge Pulled out of the bag by the robber, causing the robber to run away ( chosen idea) Robber:   Gets angry and snatches victims bag  Climbs into the bag, disappears and bag gets picked up/taken away  Pulls out police badge, realises victim is a polic...
