The World

*Halloween-time*Isolated house on a round (dome like) hill*A row of jack-o-lanterns leading up to the house*Fog shrouds the bases of the hills*Full moon in the sky*House is angular, with not many windows*Long stone pathway leading up to the house*A few trees dot the hills

Introducing Glamber!He is one little sky blue shiny alien

Da sTyLE!

*Stylized with skewed perspectives *Dark and spooky*World textures slightly gritty*Glamber and his spaceship will have a very shiny clean look to contrast with the environment.

Projected ChallengesTim: “What? Do we really

expect challenges?” (Yes, we do):*Fog in the environment: making it look spooky*Animating expressions and subtle moods*Special effects for ray gun and explosions*Subtly difficult lighting*Modeling and rigging the head

Feasibility Justification*Non-realistic look;

stylized and exaggerated*Only one main character*Only one environment and it is fairly simple*Only a few models and they are fairly simple *Projected timing is ~90 seconds without credits *Main character is fairly stylized with light texturing and a simple skeleton

FIN!

Now, time to model…
