Josh has a toothache...

Hi there cyberspace (how 'Dear Diary' did that sound),
I've explored a few ides for the title sequence. I pictured 'BBC Introducing' as some kind of comet or space entity that is about to crash into earth; Or maybe that the comet was the next great artist yet to be discovered, about to crash land on our planet.
I thought of 'Introducing as some kind of trampoline or canon (I preferred the canon) that launches new artists onto a stage at Glastonbery.
I started to storyboard the idea I mentioned before where the title sequence is a journey for the artist starting from the artist practicing in their front room, playing in a pub, recording a demo, sending it off to BBC Int' then getting Airtime then playing on a stage at some international festival. So the animation starts and ends with the band playing. I figure I can use the same picture/loop of the band throughout the whole animation. As I'm writing this I think the idea of BBC Int' being a canon is far more quirky than my idea so I wonder if I've (yet again) gone for the safe and straight-forward option. I think I need to spend more time on ideas.
As for the animation style. I'm going to try, the whole process it going to have to be quick so I've opted for stop frame. What I plan to do is use cut up bits of photographs and colored paper to animate on an enlarger stand. This is something I can do at uni or at home with a digital camera easily. Its also going to be a quick and tactile process (In theory).
I'd better do some tests...
I'll post some story boards and test videos here soon.
