25 Second Animation - Ideas development (OUAN405)

Here are some of my rejected ideas:

• A bored office worker has a daydream where bandits attack his office and he heroically takes them out. Then, ACTUAL bandits storm the office. The worker decides to leap into action but trips on a cable and falls out a window
• A man on a desert island sends an eagle with a note to help him contact humanity. After three days, the eagle returns carrying the man's three best friends, who have brought a six pack of beers. The men PARTAAAAAY for a while before realising that they are now all trapped on the island and their eagle has died. 

There were some others, but I'd like to save those concepts for FUTURE animations and I can't risk anybody finding out about them and stealing my precious PRECIOUS intellectual property.

I came up with an idea for the red crossing guy and the green crossing guy to fall in love and have a passionate dance to a high energy jazz beat. Plus, that sort of thing is easier to animate.

Woo yeah baby

In doing so, however, they confuse one man who's about to cross the road and he gets hit by a car. The crossing signal people are like "ooh woops" and have to return to their old roles, in static positions.

I got the idea while walking to the supermarket to buy some crisps. I'm enjoying a tasty packet right now. Then I came home and developed the idea. This video came in handy.

It's a traffic safety scheme to make people wait at crossing signals by having the crossing signal characters dance.

I loved the concept of more exciting crossing signals, but if some drooling arsehat has to be distracted by moving lights to stop themselves from walking in front of a car, that's their own problem to deal with.

I designed the character I want to use as well.

This is meant to sort of look like a bird's eye view of the guy looking at the crossing signal, but it is poorly staged.
