Original idea for my group animation was to make a short 1 minute clip on rivalry between both Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin. I had talked through the idea with my tutor where I later on realised that the idea of creating an animation featuring two globally known real life people would be hard work because it would involve a lot of work for me and both my partner robin to recreate these characters to look like the actual world leaders. To create these characters means that people will need to recognise them, if they don't then id does the animation injustice because the characters are the main feature in the animated clip and the content is revolved around them, if they don't represent Obama and Putin, then the whole meaning is lost and no one can truly make sense of the animation for its original purpose.
The next problem to arise was that the ideas we had were too complicated to animate due to their features and the complication Maya would give if certain features were animated, this was a main factor that was highlighted because of our basic understanding with Maya, we were mainly told to stay away from complicated designs in Maya because these ideas may take a long time to develop because of the amount of detail.
We have now, developed a new concept involving treadmills as something comical to our audiences, the idea is to have two characters running head to head increasing there speeds to demonstrates skill and stamina, to the point where they either both fall flat on their faces or one falls flat on his or her face.
