Proper idea generation (init).

So I decided to come up with some other ideas, as well as explaining the original idea a bit more..

This first alternative idea I came up with after I had done my brainstorm and I had looked at different things that are also round, (other than just the ping pong ball/the sun) I'd come up with oranges (the fruit); and when I looked at different characters I could possibly have included in the animation.

To be honest I could probably have drawn the children which would be featured in this animation idea, but then again it's only a rough idea, not a full blown storyboard :).

Secondly, I have explained my original idea a bit better, using small illustrations of how it would pan out.

Looking at these ideas, I think they are good, but I dont think they quite involve all three of my words which are definitely now going to be:

• REPETITIVE
• ROBOTIC
• PING PONG

As a result of this, I thought that I would probably need to feature some form of robotics in my animation, when the idea of actually using robots to play the game of ping pong came to me!!

*squabble

 

So here we have two robot friends who are playing a game of ping pong, when at the end of the game, each of them think that they have won the match! They then start to argue over who has actually won and in the end it gets too much for their harddrives to handle and their heads both blow up!

It sounds a bit sinister but I aim to make it quite comedic, including common robot phrases like 'DOES NOT COMPUTE!!' etc.

Hahah actually I just thought, I could feature the 'blue screen of death' at the end :')

I like this idea the most, definitely!! Now for storyboard me thinks!
