initial ideas

idea 1)

i thought of the food chain idea in relation to three fish eating each other in a line so the first being eaten by the second which then gets gobbled up by a third fish which then swims on for a bit chewing and then stops and burps out the chew tv logo. i thought this idea was maybe a little to litteral on the whole chew thing so i thought a bit more about some other possible ideas.

idea 2)

thinking about animals chewing i thought about curious cow that i had seen at the bradford animation festival and his crazy antics and consequences of things he shouldnt do which he does and then something funny happens to him. firstly with this i was worried that my cow would be to similar to curious cow. but the idea i thought of was the cow is stroling along the field and see's a sign with dont eat writen on it and a massive sunflower next to it. a thought bubble then pops up in his head with chew tv writen in it then he goes "mooo" and a bite mark is suddenly made in the logo and camera zooms to the logo and then scene ends. this i thought would end up to much like the concept of the curious cow despite how much i liked it.

idea 3)

i thought of all the e4 adds where eggs are being layed and logo popping out ect, i thought about chickens in a line in a hut like in chicken run or barn yard all laying eggs with the camera following along from a side view as each chicken lays an egg then one randomally lays the chew tv logo and the camera continues along as each chicken continues to lay its egg then all the chickens look back at that chicken who shrugs her wings and then looks down at the logo and camera zooms to the logo. alternately it could lay an egg and then it cracks open and logo comes out that way and then camera goes back and focuses on it then. i liked this idea a lot because it was simple and fun.

Summary. i liked all three of my main ideas but the chicken one and the fish ones i liked the most because i felt they were the most original, i decided to go with the fish one because i could potentially do more with that. i sketched up a story board, and some concept art to show the producers from chew tv who seemed happy with my idea and ive been at it the last 2 weeks since.
