1) Story

My animation is going to be a series which is going to based around my two characters, Audrey and Steve. Audrey is very manipulative and sly whereas Steve is a gym obsessed cyclopes and very friendly. Both characters are made to confuse the audience as they are misleading, Steve comes across as very intimidating and scary and Audrey can easily be mistaken as innocent and friendly, however they are both the opposites. They both become unlikely friends when meeting at the gym as Steve becomes Audrey's instructor. Audrey uses her ways to manipulate Steve into thinking she's a great person and she hasn't got a bad bone in her body, however everyone around Steve can see what is really going on with her, but Steve just can't see it himself. Each episode of the series will spiral out where Audrey will do something horrible to Steve, it'll become very predictable to the audience but due to its young target audience it makes it easier for them to understand and know what is going on (It is kind of like Scooby-Doo, because you always know that there is going to be a mystery that'll need solving and they always succeed). In each episode, Audrey will get up to something such as injuring Steve, or getting him into trouble.
The series will have episodes lasting 9 minutes and there will be 9 in a season. This is so it doesn't get at all repetitive or boring, because the fact its predictable could easily get boring to the audience. The length of it is just under 10 minutes because otherwise there is the fact it could easily drag out and again get boring, 9 minutes is just enough time to allow a beginning, plot and the ending.
The first episode will consist of getting to know the characters, and them meeting each other. Audrey's manipulativeness will only briefly appear so it can be eased in.
The rest of the 8 episodes will have something different happen each time but it'll all relate to the same thing. The type of things she will get up to are-

  • Hurting Steve in the gym, doing this by dropping weights on him or increasing his speed on the treadmill so he can't cope and fly's off.
  • Get him in trouble for shop lifting, which was all set up by Audrey, who then stands in the background laughing at him.
  • Breaking things and making it look like Steve did it all, who then gets the blame.
  • Speeding in a car, then switching seats with Steve so it looks like it was him.
  • Going out to eat with Steve then leaving off to the toilet when the bill comes leaving him to pay.
  • Irritate people in the street, for example, tripping them up from behind then making it look like it was Steve. Leaving him often being hit or attacked.
  • When at her restaurant, she will purposely burn Steve or embarrass him.
Each episode will be located somewhere different, however the gym and Audrey's restaurant will be the only repeating location. They'll start of nicely, where they meet up or what not, but while they are out, she will always have a sly plot up her sleeve which'll happen. Every time she's done something nasty, she'll apologies and Steve will accept her apology and that's how they'll basically end.
