Ferret Front view
Bird Front Character sketch
In the process:....Animatic
A shorter animatic. My favorite few are in the beginning. I mixed up the voices as well so it's like this:
Ninja
Pirate
Ninja
Pirate
and so forth.
I chopped up a few of the clips and will be doing some more cutting later. So far though I I like the first few and some of the after ones (especially the rabbit ^_^ the comment is classic)
But...I have shorten the clip (not much TT__TT 3:19 to 2:57....but hey it's a start :) and some of the voices might not even be in it).
Friday, September 19, 2008
Here are most of the voices that I have captured I will be choosing out of these and then shortening them to where I see fit.
Some of the pictures that you will see are what the voice may have as its character. The turtle however is just a place holder until I am able to figure out what I want that person to be :)
Have any questions or comments on this just post :)

A Little Help Needed!
I need help matching up a voice to an animal counter part. Here's the voice:
I already know that I would like him to be a dog but the thing that I need help deciding on is what dog would look best for this voice.
There's two options to choose from:
Cairn Terrier(thought maybe funny to look at a small dog with such a deep voice)

or the Blood Hound (the voice just matches this dog because of how low and deep it is)

I did think about the Chihuahua because it would be unexpected but the dog really doesn't look like it would fit with that voice so I decided against it.

Voices Thus Far
So far I have collected a few of my friends vocals I'm hoping to be able to collect most of them by the end of this week to work on animatics and composing the vocals together....
Here's a little avi that I've came up with, with one of my friends quotes that she had said during her interview....

Voices!!
As of now I'm looking for voices that I can use for my project. Thus far I'm just going to be going up to people I know and ask their opinion and to give their answers. For some people (like a few teachers) I'm sending them e-mails to see if they're interested in participating. If you have a friend that would believes he should be heard and would like to help out just post and we'll set up a time for a meeting for the interview.

Poll has come to an end.
The poll is over and here is the results:
Do you believe people are good?
2pts (7%)
What do you believe Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious means?
4pts (15%)
If you were elected to be leader of a foreign country
tomorrow, what country would you want it to be and what
would be your first offcial act?
5pts (19%)
If you could have any super power what would it be and why?
7pts (26%)
Who do you think is better Ninjas or Pirates?
9pts (33%)
So the winning Question is:
Who do you think is better Ninjas or Pirates?
This will be the main question that I'll be asking people but I will also be asking the runner up question:
If you could have any super power what would it be and why?
Now it depends on the people that I interview on which question will be shown in the thesis. I'll be picking the most interesting one out of the two. Wish them luck as they enter the next elimination trial that is coming up real soon.
Thank you to all my 27 voters who helped me narrow it down to these two questions.
THANKS!!!
P.S.
Also for those that are into Pirates and Ninjas here's a video to show how popular this topic is :)

Revised Pitch
This will be a short ,few seconds each, clip that will add up to about 60 seconds long when finished. I will be interviewing a few people in the real world with a question and they will answer with their thoughts on the topic. The interviewers will range from young and old for different variety in the audio. Mainly, this will be a slight comedy to where I'll match my interviewers with simple, exaggerated portion, 3D animal counter parts who will do the talking for them. The animal counter parts will be giving a simple back drop, so not to take away but to enhance the focal point, which is the animal and its answer.
For example:
This will then be produced in a video format to view and along with that some still shots of the character designs.

The Pitch!
Questions your pitch must answer and the answers to the Questions:
1.) How long will the piece be and/or what is the physical scope?
The Piece will be a few seconds long depending on the length of some of the answers to the interview. Of course the answers to the interview will be cropped to the areas of interest of what the piece needs.
2.) Final Delivery method (web page, prints, video)
The final delivery of this will be video along with it some prints of character layouts.
3.) Is it comedy, drama, action, a combination?
I'm hoping for more of a comical feel to it.
4.) What will it look like? (e.g. phot-real, exaggerated realism, toon rendered)
This will be exaggerated simple forms where it will still be in 3d but simple characters with simple colors, not too much with detailing.
5.)(proposed) Title?
Their Thoughts, Their World
6.) What are the elements (e.g. characters, scenes, props)?
The characters will be simple animal characters. The scenes will be simple not too much so it does not take away from the character.
7.) Content? Story, scenario(s), etc?
The story will be basically different simple animals trying to answer one question, with different thoughts and answers to it. The voices for these animals will be from young to old to get different ranges of vocals.

some more question ideas:
Here are some more question ideas:
1.) Do you believe people are basically good?
2.) One hot summer afternoon, while walking through a parking lot at a large shopping center, you notice a dog suffering badly from the heat inside a locked car. What would you do?
3.) If you were elected to be leader of a foreign country tomorrow, what country would you want it to be and what would be your first official act?
4.) What do you believe Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious means?
Any other suggestions would be great as well.
Thanks.
