The 11 second club.

As part of this terms activities we have been asked to enter a competition run by the 11 second club. This is a monthly characyer animation cometition where the winner gets his/her work reviewed by an established industry animator.
I am going to build a new character and animate it in flash. The sound byte is 11 seconds long (hence the name), so it is not long to get some kind of message across. The importance of situation and sillouette will be very important in this exercise; instant recogrition of the scene and emotional bond with the character are a must.
Simplicity is king here, i feel. Im thinking a cat character could be in the pipeline....everyone likes cats!

Experimental update

Have got hold of some gels from the media store and i am experimenting layering techniques.
May use cooking oil as a bonding agent. This could get messy.
