Final project treatment


Methods of animation
The major program to be used for this project will be a program known as Anime studio. And after effects like program designed for 2-D animation.



Image drawing
For the backgrounds Photoshop will be used to be useful effects such as the gradient tool which could be used to easily create a sky and stability to add filters will be able to make them highly stylized. The characters however will be drawn in anime studio using what is known as a vector welding tool. It is a tool that creates a basic shape such as a circle or square and using vector points you’re able to shape and mold the object to your desired form. This will probably also be used in many of the props that are seen throughout the animation




Movement and actions
Once again use in anime studios we will use of what is called a vector bone tool for the basic functions of all the characters. It uses a bone breaking system in which you attach the images you have created to a bone layer. Each bonus parented so that you have one basic mother bone save for the torso and a bunch of offshoot bones that will control the arms legs even certain parts of the arms and legs such as the upper thigh or the lower arm.

Sound design
Since the project does have a small amount dialogue the preferable plan will be to record it and edit the basic sound design on ProTools. But if for some reason ProTools is unavailable it is possible to do it with a less powerful sound design systems such as the one we see on final cut Pro.
Most the sound effects and music will most likely consist of royalty-free music downloaded from such sites such as sounddogs.com

Story
Title: El Rancho
The story takes place in a downtown atmosphere in front of the little restaurant called El Rancho. The home to the most addictive Mexican food in town. The problem is a restaurant is a terribly small place you can only fit a small group of people. We open with a shot of El Rancho which two groups of people are approaching it from opposite sides. They soon meet each other in the front of the restaurant and engage in a contest to decide who gets going to the small restaurant first.
The contest consists of one major rule who can say penis louder than the other. A machine is brought out the capable of measuring the decibel level of each scream and a champion from each group comes forward to engage in the contest. The to start off slowly and softly but soon the contest is become rather destructive as each time it is yelled the sound waves destroy cars windows street signs anything in the general area of the restaurant.
Finally one yells so loud that it breaks machine and he wins leaving his group walked to the restaurant victorious as the other sits outside of the restaurant moping over their loss.
