After discussing our projects last week I decided to go with the idea were the man ate the cherry pip and turned into a tree as well as the story of the man who ate a spider as a base to start my story from. This time my character will start by eating an egg!
The story:
my main and only character is joe, a fat bald, nerd who wears glasses and likes hiking and rambling in the woods/mountains. Anyway he comes across an egg whist walking. His journey of transformation begins. He eats the egg, which has a spider on it. He then takes on these two creatures characteristics-feathers grow from his head and he grows spider hairs!
I have used a variety of shots for these scenes as well as split screen.
He is then stung by a bee on his bald head and again begins to grow a characteristic of the bee's body. Another split screen shows the feathers that he has pulled from his head flying away on the wind. The next shots show a birds eye view of him now with bird tail feathers from his rear end, with spider hairs and bee antenars. Split screen again shows a fly around his head which he then eats and later takes on a body part of the fly-fly eye. Finally his transfomation is complete he has grew wings with which he flys away-birds eye view and then a shot of him flying past the moon.
Throughout he is scared and shocked but when he gets the wings he is happy.
Technique:
hand drawn in black ink using water colour washes for the b'ground and things which grow/eat or sting him! This will be animated on the line tester.

I get the feeling the animation technique will make this idea work. So he will be part spider, part egg and part bee? I'd love to see some drawings of this, sounds strange but interesting.
Reminded me of that rhyme The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly a bit, but in a way it's completely different.
