So for our animation project we have been grouped and set the task of creating a 1 minute animation of some kind. Either stop motion, south park style or computer animated etc. The story has to fit the theory of equilibrium and the protagonist has to occur some sort of battle to ultimately be better off.
We were set off to think of different animation stories separately and then meet the next day to share with the group and choose which seemed the best. After discussion the best story we decided to do was one of a small poor girl in face. She looks into a cake shop filled with wonderful bright and colour cakes. Then a little girl walks up to her which is also poor and the girl shares her last piece of bread with her. After this she sits down on her own and eventually the shop owner invites her into the shop where she is allowed to eat as many and what ever cake she chooses.
However then the camera cuts to a shot outside of the cake shop and the audience actually see that the girl has died outside and gone to heaven, which in her case the warm cake shop where she is happy and has all the food she can eat.
Although quite a dark story I personally thought the twist was quite unexpected and good. Tom didn't agree with us calling quits there and asked us to explore further with lots of different situations that could occur. We came up with the idea that the shop owner could turn out to be her long lost grand father and the family is re united, or the girl sees the story in the future and then refuses to share her bread and survives. There were plenty of weird and wonderful ideas.
