Development in my idea.

I have been researching ideas to create my animations. At first I was looking at toys in general as in our brief we are to use toys.

I then came across dashboard hula girls which I thought would be nice to animate. I looked at various angles and close up shots in order to get an idea on how it looks. This also helps me to visualise how it moves. 

I have an old teddy bear at home that I have had since I was a child. It has moveable arms and legs, I have decided to include the bear into my idea as it will be easy to animate. I now have the two characters in my animation they will battle in the film. Here are some bears I looked at. 

I worked out some ideas on how they could run against each other. Since the hula girl already dances I thought that I could have a dance battle. The dance battle will include simple movements as I am not qualified to do complicated movements and I have little time to create this. I have created a quick storyboard to show what I will include I have not yet thought about camera shots yet, but it gives me an idea of what the scene will look like and what will be included.
