Unfortunately, my partnership with Rosy dissolved so I'd been left to decide whether or not to pursue the rapping wrap animation or to go in completely different direction.
Since I was loosing faith in the rap anyway, I decided to give my project a complete overhaul.
I was very worried however how I'd manage to do this, it was very close to deadline when I realised I was on my own.
Panicking, I thought of doing an animation based around something that's been around all my life - the Yorkshire accent.
Trying to think more into this, I came up with the idea of having an elderly old man describing how to make his 'famous Sunday dinner' in the animation. Every person I know who makes a Sunday dinner believes theres is the best so I thought it would be a good idea to expand on this.
In my mind, the old man has a mixed persona of Brian Potter from Phoenix Nights and Karl Pilkington. I have no idea why, it was pretty much just instant when I thought of this idea (even though both are Lancashire).
I'm really wanting him to be very awkward on camera, like he's been nagged by his wife to make the video.
I think it's a pretty solid idea, it's just if I have the time to produce something that does it justice.
In terms of inspiration for my style of animation, I guess I'd say I'm influenced in the style of South Park. I like the lack of black outlines, shape of characters and the cut out style.
I'm particularly inspired by this clip:
I have made a couple of quick storyboards to give a rough idea on what'll be happening in the animation.
