Aimee Shoun Proposal
3D Animation Short

Anthony wants me to do the 3D animation shorts this semester and save all my assets and animations so I can do the game next semester.

For my animated short, I have created a spider robot that was made to get rid of pest in the laboratory. He was homemade and created by the scientist that owns the lab. He is made up a spare parts. One night he finds a pesky roach that he can’t seem to catch. The roach teases our spider as he leads him around the lab and down into the sewers and messes with our spider in a comedic way. The “Spyder” gets frustrated with the roach. The setting will be at night when the lab is closed and the people are not there. The spider and roach can freely roam the place. I want the roach to be cute like the roach on Wallie. I want the audience to like the roach but also feel for the spider’s frustration. I want this short to be funny and heart warming. I want it to start off the animation in a more scary serious tone when the “Spyder” enters the scene, looking around in a silent dark room. Then creepily the roach skids across the floor. The “Spyder “doesn’t see him but felt something strange and goes to investigate. Then the roach is revealed to be adorable but also silly. He blows razzberries at the spider and then quickly runs off. He makes the spider do some matrix moves in the air that will appear in slow motion with some action pack sound effects, but the spider always ends up outsmarted and worse off than before because of his actions whiles trying to catch this very clever roach. I think in the end my roach will end up in a lab jar/vile, while the roach teases him from the outside.

The spider robot will be outsmarted by the roach. he will find himself stuck in a vile after a matrix style jump threw the air. The roach will be on a chair like Morpheus with 90s sun glasses. He will offer the spider the truth about what he is. The spider will be mind blown by the fact he is only a robot.

Ending Possibilities /Versions

1. he falls into a box of other spider robots and realizes he isn't special but just a product and one of many.

2. he walk onto a table filled with robot parts that make him realize he was made artificially and programed.

3. he walks into a room filled with other spider robots but in their packaging, and one empty one. realizing he is just a product that is programed. it will resemble the matrix, when neo find himself in the real world among other people plugged up into the matrix. the intense music rolls in with a zoom out shot. maybe this lab also makes robots.

My To do list is ( in this order ): a. Story Board b. Get models completed c. UV models d. Create materials e. Render in Unity f. Clean up Rig g. Work on animations h. Bring animations into Unity i. Lighting j. Camera Work k. Editing Video l. Uploading Video

The help I need from you is help with my story board plan and the animations. Im sure there is more help you can provide but this is the main things I will focus on in the class specifically. I have a lot already in progress. I have made several models that still need proper UV. I have make the characters and the rigs but I need to Uv those as well. I plan to also work on my story board asap so I have a clean plan in place so I don’t waste any time or resources on something I will not end up using. I have created boards on git kraken with all the steps and when I want them done by, with the due dates. I will continue to use the boards to stay on task and keep organized. I have a Onedrive I am using to save all my files. As I move along in this project, I will be thinking about the game as well and putting copies of files aside to be later used in the game I will make next semester. I am keeping track of all my progress and sharing it on Github, Sketchfab Instagram, Youtube and Artstation. I plan on learning and researching new skills to incorporate into this project. I want to explain my knowledge of mayas animation tools, especially.
