After still being unsure about what idea to choose for 'The Classical Elements' brief, I ended up with choosing the idea I had for the fire element.
Basically I want my animation to involve two matchstick characters who go out on a date and inevitably end up kissing each other. They panic but then end up extinguishing themselves via blowing each other kisses instead.
Just by looking at the treatment, my animation does seem a little simple, and as if it wouldn't last 20 seconds. However I am really willing to add lots of fillers in the first half of the animation, for example when the two characters are on the date, I want it to be really awkward, so I can play with holding hands, awkward glances etc, to emphasise this atmosphere. Also as the matchsticks are on fire, I think this part in particular will be the most lengthy sequence of the animation as they panic and find a way to extinguish themselves.
Overall, I am really happy I have a solid idea to work with and start planning officially. And i do like the idea, so I think it will be really fun to plan!
