So as part of the degree i have to be somehow involved in the creation of an animated short as part of a group. Everyone on the course had to pitch their story ideas (i still haven't done this for some reason) and then vote for the best 6 or 7 or maybe even 8 stories. The best 6 were then given the go ahead i.e. were chosen to be produced by the students on the course. The persons who story was chosen pretty much became the director for their films, and others who didn't get chosen had to choose a film to work on. I decided I wanted to work on the film called 'Gnomes' whichs group only consisted of 2 people at that time. Sarah the director and Matt. It now has 3 people in it (me being one of them).
The film is about gnomes. Pretty obvious from the title. The story is not all there yet has new ideas constantly spring to mind and we are trying to establish what would work best. But i can tell you it has 3 characters (all being gnomes) and maybe even a squirrel making up a forth, but not so sure about that now. The basic plot is how one average male gnome trys to woo over the lady gnome, but a bigger and stronger male gnome always gets in his way, as he wants the lady gnome for himself. The story shows what the average male has to go through and how his life goes from bad to shit right at the end.
