 I really just want to make something fun for my final project if possible. I would like to make a quick and goofy animation called "Slap-Jack", named after the card game. The card game will be played between a fox and a bear in the woods, and will quickly devolve into aggressive slapping down of cards until a jack is placed by the fox. The bear will slap the jack, winning the game, and then the fox will slap the bear and the animation will end. The animation will feature the song In the Hall of the Mountain King as long as I am able to chop it down to a shorter, usable version . This is really complicated but if I can make it happen, I will. I will create all of the assets in adobe illustrator and then animate them in after effects, using character animator for certain sections. Here is my storyboard: If this idea is too much, I may switch to doing a large number of typography experiments, or some animated projection mapping projects. but yea! My laptop hated everything

Things I still need to add/fix Timing issues in the beginning, add the figures using puppet pins, make the text more interesting, maybe find a diferent ambient track of kids playing.
