In this project you will create a simple animatic about a frog and a fly. No need for a detailed background. The fly is just a dot on the screen. The drawing of the frog uses a minimal amount of lines, just enough detail to recognize what it is.
There is only one rule when developing the story for this project: you have to think of a twist in the plot. If the frog simply eats the fly, it would be boring. That's what the audience is expecting. If the fly buzzes from one side of the screen to the other while the frog does nothing that would also be boring. There needs to be a conflict and there needs to be a surprise.
Remember this is an animatic, not full animation. You only have to complete the key drawings you need to tell the story.
