The name of the game for Project 2 was confusion. I have done storyboard type “thought-escape” stuff before, so I kept trying to connect this project with that somehow. We were storyboarding but with only limited text options and no real animation. Do I put commentary in the margins and illustrate movement with arrows in the frame? So I put off starting these sketches for a bit while I avoided the confusion.
I found the National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation intro web-surfing and I enjoyed its production value and relationship with the actual movie. It’s just a little skit about a bumbling Santa and it’s a light-hearted animation. St. Nicks is constantly falling down or somehow destroying what is around him. That’s where I got the thought of crashing the words into each other.
