Project Brief

"We would like your students to design and animate some characters for us for a potential advertisement for London Zoo. We are thinking about using a visual style that reflects tradional  "Claymation" techniques but will be generated using CG processes.  The characters should be worked up from the following list."

1. Willie Billiams- "A hyperactive nine year old on his first visit to London Zoo with an obsessive interest in creepy crawlies."

2. Pocahontas Billiams- "Willies sister, she's seven years old but much more relaxed and more knowing than her sibling.  She wants to be a gorilla."

3. Wilhemina Billims- " Willie and Pocahontas's grandmother, she thinks everything smells bad and is worried that a chinp or one of those nasty bonbos might escape and "Poo" in her hat."

4. Wee Eck McGlone- "London Zoo's long suffering head keeper sixty, bald, curmudgeonly, Scottish, fiercly patriotic and obsessive about sweeping up dung."

5. Cornelius- "A middle aged silver back gorilla, the most civilised and sesible occupant of the zoo by far."
