Background and Fascist

Productive Class...

What's New?

Nothing.

Done with midterms now, and pretty exhausted. But from here on out it's balls out hard work in all three classes. I feel ok for where I'm at now, I just need to finish up my pre-production, including, character design, back ground and some other animation components. Then I can start animating! I'll keep posting progress as it's completed.

Farmer Character Model

So here's the farmer.

I really like him.
Tell me what you think.

Story Board First Draft

So this story board is no where near production standard, but it gets the general idea across.

I also have a basic script for you! Yay!
I can sense your overwhelming excitement!

So it will open with our farmer/peasant and the narrator will introduce him as a generic character that could live any where in the whole world. But today he's in for a special treat! He gets to learn about types of government/economic systems! Neat, huh?!

Well, the first one to approach the farmer is a capitalist from America, who's all smiles and apple pie. Waving his flag, he tells the farmer, that he could trade the things he makes on the farm for money which he could use to buy anything he wanted. He goes on enthusiastically to say that the farmer could work hard his whole life, fill his life with possessions and odds are he will probably die unhappy, and unfullfilled!

The second one to approach is a socialist with a very admirable mustache. He informs the farmer that he should be working very hard on his farm. And regardless of how hard everyone else works compared to the farmer, the government is going to take all of the goods he produces and distribute them among all the people of the country. (And just between them two, most of it actually just gets hoarded by the government leaders.)

The third and last to approach the farmer is in a military uniform and very strict looking. It's our friend, Mr. Fascist! He approaches the farmer and they look at each other silently for a moment.
The fascist says, "Knock knock"
The farmer asks, "Who's there?"
"Fascism."
The farmer replies, "Fascism wh--," but before he has the chance to finish, the fascist pulls out a gun and shoots him in the head.
The fascist says, "Don't ask questions."

And that's pretty much it.
Yay for satirical violence!

I don't know what's with those vector dots...
This quality is terrible for some reason.

Whatever.
