project 3 intial planning

Our animation is a short story episode of The Shady Bunch. I chose to do this type of animation because I'm a fan of these story style of animation on channels like Cartoon Network and liked the idea of creating my own one. The chance to create strange and creative characters, storylines and locations was by far the most appealing as well as the chance to use inspiration throughout but to change it to my own personal style.
 The animation type is hand-draw, frame by frame Adobe Flash. This style was most appropriate for the genre of animation I wanted to do. Flash gives the possibility for smooth lines, block colours and flowing movement which the alternatives don't offer.
 I would best describe my animation as a dark humoured comedy for teens. Although the visuals looks more like it belongs on Cartoon Network for young children and teens, the content and subject matter perhaps belongs on a more 'mature' network like Comedy Central or Adult Swim. 
 It's also possibly 'abstract' due to some of the content.

The overall 'The Shady Bunch' animation story is 3 completely different characters find themselves stranded of a mysterious, dark and confusing island which is completely un-inhabited and there day to day processes.
 The specific episode story is that, the native Kovsky brings back berries to the starving camp and the 'adventures' which go on after the realisation the berries are hallucinative.
