Synopsis~~

DrunkiMonkey~

Will base the main character on the chinese mythical character, MONKEY KING. In the original story, He has a cheeky personality, creates havoc for villagers etc, until the gods decides to tame him. Sends him to follow THE CHOSEN ONE (a priest) on his journey to the west. The gods then put a metal crown on the monkey kings head, whenever he goes out of control, the priest would have the power to hold him down.

For my own story, the main character will be based on the monkey kings CHARACTER not storyline.

Few attributes::
-doesn't think before doing
-cheeky
-gets into laughing fits very easily

Location::
-Set in a bamboo forest
and a cliff

A martial arts artist who takes a break, jumps down a waterfall, takes a sip of what he thinks is tea, becomes drunk. He's knocked out,

For the drunk scene to be in 2D, monkey wakes up in an egg shape design. arms and legs pop out.
-like the drunk elephant parade in the dumbo scene, its set in black background. with a chalk like effect of him "figure skating" with some weapons doing some drunken fist then smashes into a wall.

Only to wake up to being on an edge of a cliff. Still a bit out of it, he cracks up laughing. He laughs so hard, rolling around the floor, till he accidentally slips. The scene ends with him floating upwards on a cloud, with a halo on his head. Then a short flash back of him mistakenly pouring SAKE instead of water into his tea.

THE END

For the elephant parade scene, I'm still not certain if its necessary. It would be nice to have it, to give the clip some flow. But in technical terms, I don''t know if it would be too much to handle having to animate in 2D and 3D. Because of this, I'm now wondering if using cell shaders/toonshades on a 3D model would be easier, since sliding IS so much easier to animate as we have all learnt in first year.
