The Ideas so far/Worded Story board

So far I have thought of making an animation on a cannibal, dancing to the music of 'cannibal' by Ke$ha .. as stated in -animation-ish vs istop motion-. With the lyrics the man will dance. I will upload the lyrics individually after this post but below are the lyrics with the dance move ideas I have had so far:

CANNIBAL - KE$HA

Scene One:
Rawr!
Rawr!
I have a heart - stops onto screen, song begins and heart pounds out of chest twice.
once - "i have a heart.."
I swear I do - second - "i swear i do"
But just not baby - cannibal shoves heart back into chest forcefully, shakes head and wiggles finger back and forward
When it comes to you -  Points at screen
I get so hungry when you say you love me - stomach rumbles, cannibal licks lips and rubs stomach
Hush if you know what's good for you - Looks cross/mad and pushes index finger to lips

Scene Two:
I think you're hot - catches on fire
I think you're cool - runs off screen, comes back on with bucket of water and pours it all over himself - or - water rains onto him or comes from ceiling - or - ash from smoke rises up and forms a cloud, pours down on cannibal
You're the kind of guy - falls over from exhaustion
I'd stalk in school - Looks up and switches eyes back and forward
But now that I'm famous - Jumps up quickly - strikes a pose
You're up my anus - Pushes towards computer with hand
Now I'm gonna eat you fool - Places hand down.. runs at screen - camera shows all the way from normal size (full body) into mouth. screen goes black

Scene Three
I eat boys up - shuffling
Breakfast and lunch- shuffling
Then when I'm thirsty- shuffling
I drink their blood- shuffling

Carnivore, Animal- shuffling
I am a Cannibal- shuffling
I eat boys up- shuffling
You better run- shuffling

Scene Four
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) (Cannibal) I am- Stops, back facing back of camera, hands at sides rise for this line all the way to top, wiggles body and jumps, turning around facing audience
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) - unsure about the dance moves above.. either that or possibly theatrical dance moves
I'll eat you up (I am) - Twitch with hands going - twitching kind of style
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) (Cannibal) I am - Beat picks up here, cannibal starts shuffling
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) - Same as above
I'll eat you up - Same as above

Scene Five
Whenever you tell me I'm pretty - Grows really long eye lashes and bats eyes
That's when the hunger really hits me - Looks down at stomach, stomach rubbles again
Your little heart goes pitter-patter - Pulls out a heart from behind his back, "pitter patter" beats fast
I want your liver on a platter - Plater slides across floor attached to a string.. cannibal chases after it.. runs into wall, plater slides threw fine before him

Scene Six
Use your finger to stir my tea - Drools thinking about it - thought cloud, tea with fingers in it.
And for dessert I'll suck your teeth - Thought pattern changes and teeth appear



Be too sweet and you'll be a goner - Cannibal smiles widely
Yep! I'll pull a Jefree Dauhmer - Mug shot appears, top right hand corner of Jefree Dauhmer

Scene Seven
I eat boys up - Mug shot dissapears, and Jefree Dauhmer dances out doing the can can, links up with cannibal and they do can can together for verse. Jefree Dauhmer is wearing an orange jumpsuit like a prisoner, also could have a stray jacket on. research if he is insane or a prisoner
Breakfast and lunch - Same as above
Then when I'm thirsty - Same as above
I drink their blood - Both clink classes, pulled out from behind their back full of blood. blood splashes out onto floor

Carnivore, Animal- shuffling
I am a Cannibal- shuffling
I eat boys up- shuffling
You better run- shuffling

Scene Eight
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) (Cannibal) I am- theatrical dancing
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) - theatrical dancing
I'l eat you up (I am) - twitching moves again
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) (Cannibal) I am - shuffling
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) - shuffling
I'll eat you up- twitching moves again

Can just copy and paste last chorus from previously in the song
Scene Nine
Ohhhh- ?
Ohhhh- ?
Ohhhh-?
Ohhhh- ?
Ohhhh!- ?
Ohhhh!- ?
Ohhhh!- ?
Ohhhh!- ?

Scene Ten
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) (Cannibal) I am- same as previous chorus - theatrical dancing
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) I"ll eat you up (I am) - same as previous chorus - Theatrical dancing
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) (Cannibal) I am- same as previous chorus - shuffling
I...am...Cannibal (Cannibal) I"ll eat you up - same as previous chorus - shuffling

Scene Eleven
I love you- ??
I warned you - ??
Rawrrr! - ?? Jumps ?? lion like.. like a predator because he is a 'cannibal'

Note: I will post a link for the song Ke$ha, Shuffling by an animation, Normal shuffling and the theatrical dancing when I have youtube access.

Animation-ish vs. Istop motion and

Our class has been introduced too two different forms of animation... the first being Animation-ish. This form of animation is drawings, drawn on the computer placed on top of each other and flicked threw quickly. Where as istop motion is either drawings or 3D objects, such as clay or pencils, doing different things, but moved a small amount in each shot. Both making the pictures appear to come alive. There are many famous animation shows that use these forms of animation, such as The simpsons, Walt Disney and Pengu (a clay made penguin).

Having to decide which one would create my story better was simple. I chose Animation-ish as there is more of a variety of what I can create. Where as with istop motion there is only using already existing objects in creating a movie.

I wish to make a music video about a cannibal. The song that he will be in is called 'Cannibal' by Ke$ha. There is a strong beat and occasionally becomes faster where i wish he will shuffle, a form of dancing.  I plan to use a already animated image I found on Google.com/images, except for the fact that he was intended to be a caveman, he is perfect. He looks a little bit like a cannibal because he has a bone through his nose as a piercing. He looks strong and violent with a club in his hand. Due to his tongue hanging out of his mouth he looks stupid, which will add to the fact that this man is slow and sluggish and you would not expect this from him. This will create my animation to be humerus to the viewers. The images that I will bring to life is included below. I believe that he was the perfect choice and that also Animation-ish will make this music video fantastic.

I love the fact that he has a spear, making him look like a hunter.

Ball - Animation

So far this term I have been playing around with Animation-ish Class room edition. I made a pink ball bounce across the screen. I'm really happy with it because I've never made anything in animation-ish before and it looks like a real ball bouncing (except the fact that it sort of looks like a drawing ).See the movie below :)
