the new direction

Havn't spoken to maciej in a few days but the last time we spoke we discussed changing the direction of the project to a slightly more abstract one. We looked at alot of swatch adverts and (aside from the live action ones) found that the animation they made was more abstract, making use of simple shapes and basic coulour schemes, often in moving kaleidascope pattern. (I will put up some of these adverts in teh next post). We decided that something slightly more within this area of visual style would be more appropriate and maybe easier to accomplish. Then again we still want to use the basic idea of a race. We decided that it may be good to make it in the stlye of a computer game, with start menus and scoreboards at the end, witht the one who is wearing the snow goggles coming out on top. From there we decided that we could use our skills well if we did a 2d pixelated/8 bit video game style animation....
