The Concept

The Idea i have come up with should be no more than approximately 25 Seconds.
My Original line of thought was to do something that was supposed to be kind of funny. It doesn't have to be hilarious, just something with a neat idea behind it. So i thought, what is a well known joke or riddle? I instantly thought of, 'Why did the Chicken Cross the Road?' Then, while write my Previous Blog Post, i came up with the idea of having chicken eating human from a KFC or Burger King Styled Restaurant. Just to add, i think it will look a little funnier if the chicken is wearing a suit.

I will have the chicken walk in one side of the restaurant empty handed, and walk out of the other side with a bucket (like you would see at KFC or McDonalds). There will then be a close up of the chicken and human arms and legs will be sticking out of the top of the bucket. He will then continue walking while eating.

Here are my Storyboards.

Ignore the Spelling mistake in the title, it should say, 'Kentucky Fried Children'.

I plan on creating the Models and the set soon and hopefully it will all look good and clear enough as to what individuel items are. I haven't attempted to make a "3D" set of any kind before so hopefully it will tun out ok.

Generating some ideas.

In this blog Post, i am going to list some, or any of the ideas i can come up with. My first idea is to start off with a lump of Plasticine, and have it form and create itself into a seemingly living creature of some kind. I get the idea after watching the two YouTube videos below. 


I feel it could be a little fun and as it's only going to be around 15 - 30 seconds, it doesn't have to be overly elaborate or have a real 'in-depth story' as i mentioned earlier.

I am wanting to explore the idea of using a common joke as a starting point, like, 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' but it needs a twist. Maybe it could be crossing the road to get to a KFC Style Restaurant that is selling Deep Fried Human Instead; With a side of Chips.

 - I think i may now have my idea planned out, in my head at least. I will now Begin Planning and creating the storyboards.
