Topic: Story / [Brainstorm] Metropolis - Proof of Concept

For 2D animation we could look into the use of Flash, Maya, After Effects. I have previously created a short pixel animated project frame-by-frame, a technique which could be rationalized a lot with Flash.

Some screenshots from this project can be found below…

Topic: Story / [Brainstorm] Metropolis - Proof of Concept

Hello and Welcome!

This is where it all starts! Right here!

The message behind Metropolis is that Mankind as a whole is stupid, greedy and easily lured and manipulated.

The idea is that Metropolis is an episode-based series with no real beginning or end. Although there probably should be some kind of vague main story line in the background.

What happends next?

Next we just produce as many ideas as simply possible around this theme!!!

Ideas for characters, settings, names, places, stories, graphical techniques, dialogues, plots, intrigues, jokes, satire, events, animation techniques etc etc. Bring it all! And bring pictures, sounds and movies too!

And what happends after that?

Hopefully, after a while, we’ll start to feel that Metropolis might actually work! We will have a “Proof of Concept”. Then we switch gears and start making real episodes.

How does that sound?
Any questions?
