Update on Production plan/Idea
So, Tarwin has just mentioned the use of 3D as a tool to create the animation by making the characters like little icy-pole stick puppets so the overall effect is still like 2D animation (paper cut-out like, but with more depth if I use 3D). So I probably will use 3D...gotta do some tests first though.
Concept and Keyframes
Well, here is a part of my concept. I'm still not sure about all the specifics but the basic storyline is this:
Main basis for concept: Cause and Effect.
Basic storyline concept:
There are only two main characters in this story and each one is in their own little world. They inadvertently entangle themselves into the other character’s world via their actions or their reactions. One of the characters has a particularly controlling nature which then causes the other character to face the consequences of the first one. The second character reacts to said consequences by doing something which brings the second character closer to the world/environment of the first. Pretty much the same thing happens until eventually the two worlds are entangled and causes a single massive event with dire consequences or perhaps the second character gains retribution over the first.
I've made 3 keyframes of what my animation may look like. Here they are:
This first image is of the first main character (loves to take control of things, see what things do and also causes the destruction of both worlds).
So this image is of the second main character and its world being affected by the actions of the first, so this is the first sign of the leaking from one of the worlds.
This third image is of the two characters worlds leaking into each other and being entangled.
So those were the images of what my animation may look like. Initially I really wanted to incorporate some 3D into this animation but I am creating a 3D animation for the 3D unit and doing 3D twice doesn't sound quite as appealing and just doing one 3D animation would probably prolong my interest in that project. So I won't be using 3D in this project.
John made a comment today on the two very different styles in the world and that perhaps it would be hard to merge the two together. I wanted the second characters world to be almost like a child's colouring book so it sort of contains a feeling of naivety but I think John is right and the leap between the worlds may be hard to do.
So I've thought about the images and I've decided that I really like the collage one (first characters world). I'm thinking that I may just use that one world and since the first character's world (FCW) is desaturated, I think I might make the second character's world (SCW) colourful and as the story progresses the colour of the SCW then leaks into the first characters. Or as Elise suggested, perhaps have the SC be bleached of colour in an effort to save it's own world.
I'm still quite stumped as to what I could do as a trigger for these events to happen so I still need to brainstorm some more on this.
