After speaking to Katy in today's morning session, we came to a decision on what our final idea should be for our animation. Based on the research I had done, we decided that we'd like to explore the benefits that keystone species have on our environment and promote the reintroduction of such animals. To do this, we'd deliver factual information through characters (the keystone species we're focusing on) about the benefit that these keystone species have on the environment and this would be done through interviewing the creatures in a Creature Comforts kind of style.
Now that we have our idea down, we were able to set up a production plan to help us effectively plan out our time and to give us an idea of how long each process would take and how long we should be roughly spending on each stage of the animation.

From here we started to split roles and responsibilities between ourselves. As Katy is most interested in pre-production, she took responsibility for character design, pose sheets and expression sheets and storyboards whilst I took the script, as we felt that I was better suited to write the story, audio and post-production and we have agreed to both work on environment design, animatics and animation to help split the work load.
During this session Sara also came to speak to us about our idea and she thought that we had developed a good base to start writing a script from. The only suggestion she made was possibly having a small creature as the person in between rather than a large one like the sheep we originally thought of. This will help to create a better contrast and make it more visually interesting. She also advised us to possibly think about reaching out to the charity to propose what we intend to do in our animation to see if they are interested in using it for their website. Overall, I'm really pleased with the feedback received from Sara and I'm looking forward to moving forward with the project.
