Ideas process for rocket animation


I am going to do an an animation of a rocket getting excited cause they have been chosen to take off. There light gets activated they start to dance and jump around they start to take off  cuts to close up of face they open there eyes looking down realizing they are still on the ground they get embarrassment and then randomly take off.

During the Incubation process I went to see an event at the media museum. A talk by co founder of Aardman Peter Lord I was so excited about the event but also nervous, I realized this will be great a inspiration for my animation mixing both feelings of excited and nervous and in the end embarrassed the last emotion. I did not feel that emotion but it will add to the comedy. Through Psychological research I realized that excited and nervous are run by the same chemicals (epinephrine) adrenaline. This means whether we feel stress or pleasure we get a burst of adrenaline, adrenaline is also used as defense mechanism in a state of emergency.
The Aardman viewing documentary made me realize the unique animation of the company and how much it means to me. The subtle use of both simple gestures and even camera to show what a character is thinking is genius. 

The idea is the rocket will act like he was picked to blast off and he feels honored and excited, He then starts to get nervous and as he takes off feels like he has done it but he hasn't then he feels silly and embarrassed knowing he couldn't do it until setting off randomly very fast.
