Concept Development

Mauimu and Dolpin not the best thing in the world not the best stories for starters basically its about a dolphin who saves an ungrateful monkey and comes to the realization that he is a monkey and not a nice person and so she leaves the monkey to drown

Undergoing several renditions... my first poorly written animatic was born...

This was our assignment to do a frog playing a banjo and he gets a tomato thrown at him which he avoids.  It had to be 20seconds long and could only have the one frog for a character the other character could be implied or just be something that's not a full character and would be easy to rig whatever that meant... So I wrote and sung a song and had an indication of another character...

The professor wasn't fond of the tune so I got rid of it and improved the animation going back to my original boards

Rat Revenge another 20 second animatic about 2 rats that were playing pool together and one squeaks the chalk to mess up the other one up the rest was up to us

Rodger/ Righteous Raven another 20 second animatic that was fun to write with my roommate mike and voice-act for the additional sound was thrown in last second so a lot of what was the animation and timing was a bit flawed but inorder to keep all of the jokes in there I had to adjust my animation.

environment 

Characters. The giraffe was eventually named savannah and originally I was going to have them on an online blind date that he was going to prepare food for where I would have a lot more puns in the description of the character.
