First Idea...

As a group we brainstormed the task in hand and came up with a few rough ideas for the short animation.

We wanted to keep it fun and light-hearted so decided on a catoon-like feel for the animation. The main idea was to have the camera follwing a course that 'travels' through Essex, passing landmarks and iconic environments as it goes. The horizon could be curved to give the idea of travelling around the world (showing that Essex has everything to offer, from historic villages to pictureque fishing towns).

Having the main idea sorted, we decided to think about a start scene. Some of the group discovered that Essex is home to over 70 golf courses! We felt it only right to include some sort of golf reference in the animation. The opening scene could be the camera zooming in on the world, then england, then essex. This will show the viewer the location. The camera will eventually zoom onto a golf course and show a golfer tee-ing off. As he hits the ball the camera will snap to show the balls-eye-veiw. This will be the start of the camera's route.
