The purpose of this post is to revise my idea for this assignment. My last idea didn’t read all too well. And while it’s “kinda good”, it’s not really great. With that in mind, I move onward and upward to make sense of the situation and possibly fuck it up.

Here’s the revised idea:

And here’s the summary pose so far:

Your thumbnails suck. You need to explore more ideas and concepts and really try to nail the poses and approach before you take it into maya.

You’re ideas are ok. But not great.

Story and Character are what separate from Ok with GREAT.

Your shot needs to have a beginning, middle. and end.

That model needs to be more than just a character. He needs to be a personality. You should be able to tell a difference from one stewie personality from another stewie.

As for my shot. If you go into it feeling like “Fuck it, I’ll cut my losses and just push through.” You gotta want to do your shot. If you can tell the story and it sounds interesting and if it’s interesting to you then do it.

Whatever your setup is. It has to sell. With the fewest amount of ideas.

So, I think that I need to come up with more meat for my shot. Basically, there’s just a gag (if you can even read it), but no personality.
