For our summative pitch, the animation will be about a normal guy that lives in the medieval times who wakes up to being hit in the head by a newspaper at the front of his hut, by a man running down the trail. The newspaper reads that a sword is missing, be found immediately, and returned to address listed (owner). This is the first quest of the guy who has been inspired by all the knights around him and hopes to make a good impression on everyone in town. This begins by the guy going to the address to find out the first clue of where to go. As he finds the sword, exhausted from all the parkour and searching, there is someone behind him with a weapon and the door goes shut. The screen goes black.

 

We will be using Abobe Flash, Abobe Audition or Audacity for our project. For the principles of animation, we will be mainly focusing on squash & stretch, staging, exaggeration, anticipation, secondary action, and solid drawing. The type of audio we will possibly have is fast paced music for the parkour.
