Narrative Story for my Animation

Concept Brief
To develop a 3D animation narrative using 3D software, After Effects and video editing software Final Cut Pro

The narrative needs to relate to my personal avatar and also using similar if not the same style.

The style must be clean and consistent style with a cartoon graphic look and feel.

The narrative must have a consistency about it as it will be part of an on going animation series for folio preposes, showcasing my skills in 3D animation and editing.

Narrative

The narrative story takes place on a factory floor. When the workers arrive the lights are turned one and they proceed to their stations. In particular two factory workers make their way to the crane stations, while a train carriage rolls onto the floor via the large roller access door way. Without much concern for the contents of the crates, the carriage just dumps them on the factory floor, leaving it to the workers to organise the chaos.

The crane operators then proceed to organise the mess of crates into some sort on an order. When they have completed that task they continue to open the crates and remove the contents of those crates on to the floor. Though they run into problems when they can’t decide where to place each item to crate some sort of a scene. So they tussle with each other trying to agree on some sort of a set up.

All the commotion raises the attention of the boss, so he comes out onto the floor to see what’s going on. When the workers realise he is watch this one decides to pick him up. The other worker quickly realising what’s going on joins in on the fun. The two of them proceed to dump him into an already empty crate. Though the boss tries to struggle out of the grip of the crane but is eventually forced into the box. To make sure he doesn’t interfere again they both seal the box and carry it over to the dumpster where they drop it in.

The workers then go back to their argument on the placement of each object in the scene. Eventually they give up and decide to confront each other on the floor. So they approach each other and start verbally arguing. Suddenly both cranes come to life and look at each other seeming to indicate that they are about to do something to the arguing workers.

Both cranes quickly swoop down and grab the two workers and caring them over to two empty crates and dumping them inside. Then placing the lids back on top sealing them in and caring the crates over to the dumpster where the boss is still struggling to get out. The cranes then go back to the scene set up and in complete co-operation with each other they finish it off and pack them selves up.

The floor manager comes out to start shutting machines down and looks at the work that was completed, but scratches his head wondering where everybody is. He walks over the switches and turns the lights out and walks out the door.
