Proposal

Production Company: Remir

Title: Lets Dance!!

By Line:

I have decided to mix clay animation and object animation together; I will use a mannequin and clay to make my channel 4 ident. The time period will be between 30 and 60 seconds.

Synopsis

My idea I have decided to do is about a sketch mannequin that knows how to dance and it dances to different types of music. My ident will start of with the mannequin walking on the set introducing him self by waving in the camera.  My mannequin then realizes he can moves his arms and starts to experiment and then he does the hand wave and then he goes into a ballerina and does a piluette, my mannequin then leaps of the set and comes back into the set moon walking. The mannequin then realizes it cannot move to it full potential because it is stuck to its podium it the rockets of its podium and kicks it out of the set and then starts to break dance he starts to sweat and feels sick and then vomits purple which we use clay to my the sweat and the vomit, the vomit then covers the screen and the e4 sign comes up. When the mannequin starts to dance the different genres we use different music from Michael Jackson billie jean.

I think that my ident will appeal to it e4 audience because its fun uses music that everyone is familiar with and it is comical which e4 represents. I also think it educate by showing people you can achieve to do something if you put your mind to it and try.  I think it will entertain my audience because you hardly see mannequin that can dance.

Personnel

My production team will consist of just Amir Manipon, I have chosen Amir to be apart of my production team because he is a creative person who is a good drawer and has got good editing skills, I will ensure our production in on schedule by making sure we come to every lesson and being on top of our pre production and production work.

Resources

For my ident I will need to use just a web cam camera to shoot my ident with and also a computer. I will need theses things because it will make it easier to shoot with because the props that I will be using will be small and it will be easier to place the webcam in different places than if we was to use a normal camera. I also chose to use a webcam because it is less work we would of had to use an extra person to hold the camera in place whereas with the webcam we can stick it to the computer with blue tack.

For my ident I will use a blue card for the background, I have decided to use this colour because I can use it as a blue screen and drop a different background in when I am editing it. Which will make my ident look more professional.  I am also using plastercine for the sweating and vomiting effect. I have decided to use these materials because they are easy to create shapes and you can make them look realistic.
