The Project, The Ideas and the Headache

I should of done this in the beginning but anyways here it goes. Lewis and I both thought...well I though that it would be enough to do just random squences of the audiences reaction. But we were wrong, after speaking with Jared we realised that we had to create some sort of narrative to the project.
Lewis came up with the idea that we can have a character do things that would normally take two or more people to do. We started thinking of magic tricks, such as a character sawing himself in half and then the lower torso would sprout a body and a head making another person on stage. The othere one with just the upper body would sprout legs and so there would be 2 characters. Lewis also thought that since 30 seconds isn't long maybe he could do some knife throwing. We could make a 3-D object in the shape of an X and have the character throw the knives then he would quickly run and tie himself on the X and have the knive miss him. We considered that yesterday, using the duck as a character choice. I'm cool with it but I'd still like to create more character possiblities those that aren't chose cna just go to the audience. We also intend to use this software called Toonboom, apparently Mike Smith knows a lot about it so we have to find or e-mail him as soon a possible. We only got 6 weeks to do this in so we have to move fast and be decisive about it, the idea that is.
