Live Client Project Proposal

Brief: Create a character then portray it through an animation to express its personality
Contents of Project:
1. Storyboard which should present general idea of the script and succinctly show the process of how created the character
2. Animation final piece (2-3mins)


The aim and objective of the project
The aim of my live client project is to create a character then portray it through an animation to express its personality. I want to make the animation more interesting with the aid of a humorous narrative and character design.

The concept behind the project and narrative plan:

My narrative idea is represented a Otaku who purchases comic toy on ebay。

The story happens in a disordered room which is full of comic books and computer games. A Otaku, who has dishevelled hair, dressed dingy clothes, beard and wears a pair of large black frame glasses, is sitting before a computer, with excitement and joy in his eyes.

He finds a limited edition cartoon toy on ebay and he has looked for it for many years. He presses “enter” key without hesitation to purchase it. When he is immersing in happiness, he finds that someone is also purchasing the toy. So, the price is getting higher and higher, which makes him anxious and angry. At this time, the price has up to an extraordinarily high level.

After he presses “enter” key for another time, he finds his rival stops, and he finally successfully purchases the limited edition cartoon toy model with an unimaginable price. He is relaxed after successfully purchasing it, so he continuous browsing other objects for auction randomly as usual. Suddenly, he finds that there is a similar model toy on the website, but the price is much lower than that he just spent on his toy.
