2D Animation Storyboard


This is my storyboard for my 2D animation.  There is nine screen shots for this storyboard and for everyone screen shot there is a short description of what will happen in the scene and then I wrote down what audio will be used in the scene.  The drawings aren't perfect but that doesn't matter as long as you get a brief outline of what will happen during the animation.

This is the first sheet and the first scene is a view of Peppa Pig's house with the Peppa Pig theme song.
Second scene will be a view of Peppa's house with Peppa appearing in front of the house with the Peppa Pig theme song.  The third scene will zoom into Peppa's house and the title will appear and the theme song will come to an end.  The fourth scene starts in the woods where Peppa is walking happily through the woods, the audio being used is Peppa whistling.  The fifth scene is the intro of Elmer Fudd and he is walking in the woods to try to find something to hunt and he says be very very quiet I'm hunting.   








The sixth scene Peppa approaches the 'Hunting Season' sign and then gets worried when she hears a gun shot, the audio is the sound of a shotgun being fired.  The seventh scene Elmer walk onto the scene to where Peppa is, Peppa says 'Hi I'm Peppa Pig' and Elmer says ' I'm Elmer Fudd and I like hunting'.  Eight scene Elmer Fudd shoots Peppa and the audio is a sound of a shotgun being fired and a squeal of a pig.  The final scene is Peppa laying on the floor dead and the audio is of Elmer Fudd laughing.

2D Animation (So Far)

So far on my 2D animation I have thought of my idea for my animation, my idea is Peppa Pig meets Elmer Fudd.  My idea will be done as a cut out animation.  I have drawn my cut outs and i have done separate faces for Peppa with different facial expressions and I have done several number of eyes with different looks, I got the looks off the internet and printed it off to prove that I have researched something for my animation.  Also I am currently trying to sort out a way that Elmer Fudd will walk.

I managed to sort out away for Elmer Fudd to walk because his legs originally were like he was sneaking up on somebody but if I had done that he wouldn't of moved forward, so I just did his legs normally so that he could walk forward.  I have done two backgrounds i have done done the hill where Peppa Pigs house is and that will be used for the introduction of the animation.  The other background is in the woods where Elmer Fudd is hunting and Peppa is also there, I got the background from this from a scene of an episode of Looney Tunes where Elmer Fudd is hunting Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.

Proposal For 2D Animation


Today I have created a proposal on Microsoft Word for my 2D animation

It is going to be an Peppa Pig episode with a guest appearance from Elmer Fudd.  In my proposal i included: Working title which is Peppa Pig Meets Elmer Fudd.  I included a medium which will be a cut out animation at 12 frames per second.  I included the target audience which will be young teenagers because of the content of the animation because Peppa Pig gets shot and older teenagers will find it funny especially if they have younger siblings who watch Peppa Pig.  The indication of style is comedy with a bit of thriller.  The summary content is Peppa Pig and her family go to the woods/park and Peppa wonders off and gets lost and Elmer Fudd Shoots her.  The length of the animation should be 15 seconds to 1 minutes but I might run over a little bit and my inspiration is that my sister watches Peppa Pig loads and it annoys me so i thought Peppa Pig getting shot would be funny for viewers who have younger sibling like me.

      I had my proposal looked at by Mike and Jenny and they told me to add a few things to make my proposal stronger.  I added an age range to the intended audience so I put 15 year old to 20 year old.  In the indication of style I compared the normal Peppa Pig and the genre for that to the version I am doing.  Also added my other inspiration for doing Peppa Pig and I put that my other inspiration were Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, The Hive, Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom.
