The Classical Elements

For this 20 second animation I decided pretty quickly on the fact that I wanted to focus on fire. This s because it was the element that was sparking off the most ideas for me (no pun intended!) I began by producing some mind maps to hall me settle on one specific idea and develop that further.

This first one above was my way of getting all my possible ideas out in front of me to help me narrow down, because that is something which I really struggle with. I tend to get idea overloads and then my brain overheats and stops working!

I EVENTUALLY settled on my final idea. I wanted to go down a different route to what i normally go down, I often create characters and worlds which are quite creepy and not to everybody's liking. So I thought I would have a go at creating a story that is, well, pleasant!
