Second Team Meeting

• Came up with the company name and logo
• Characters
• Synopsis

Today we decided on a name for our company as well as the logo. Kelsey brought in a few suggestions and as a group we decided on Studio Nimbus. We also decided on the logo which was of a Nimbus cloud that also had a friendly face on it.

Afterwards we needed to progress our idea further and I deemed that the characters were most important at this point in time as the storyboard can't be made without them. This led us into a debate on how we should come up with the characters. Since it was quite hard to just create a character on the spot, it was decided that our character designer should personify sea-creatures and use the team members as the basis for this. That meant we needed to decide what sea-creature should represent each team member.

In the end we had decided on:

• My character would be a Sardine
• Lorne would be an octopus
• Tron would be a pufferfish
• Alejandro would be a lobster
• Kelsey would be a mermaid

Once the characters had been decided we went onto brainstorming a synopsis for the TV series. We wanted a reoccurring theme as this is what is usually consistent within the popular kids TV shows and decided that our antagonists would be attempting to steal a specific item. We came to this idea from using Spongebob Squarepants as an influence. The main antagonist, Plankton, is constantly attempting to steal a formula.

Synopsis (currently):

The antagonists (Myself and Lorne) have stolen a sacred treasure map from the protagonists town (Kelsey, Tron and Alejandro) and they have been hired to retrieve the stolen goods before the secrets are unearthed.
