IDEAS FOR ANIMATION:
THE IDEA USED WILL BE GALEXACO.
TREATMENT FOR GALEXACO:
GALEXACO will be a cartoon made for a teenage audience, about two dumb aliens who work at a fuel station called GALEXACO ran by their angry boss, Mr Grooper. GALEXACO will be based in a chaotic dystopian sci-fi world, where all the universe has to offer is madness. GALEXACO's purpose will be to entertain audiences with dark/wacky comedy and references to the satirical music genre vapour wave. This is because the world of GALEXACO is a representation of the wackyness and stupidity of the internet, which is why the internet will be referenced. The animation will be produced entirely by myself, using the software Adobe Animate, which will allow me to successfully create a 2D Digital Frame by Frame animation.
The target audience for GALEXACO will be people aged 15-21 and will appeal to that age group with its fast paced sci-fi references and absurd comedy (which I have found to be very popular among that age group). The main target gender will be males, since the narrative mainly follows males, however the narrative could still have a slight appeal to females, since the narrative mainly thrives of he stupidety of boys. The main characters Fred (the smaller hard working alien) and Doopy (the taller and dopey character) will appeal because of their contrasts in character and because of their relatability. Doopy especially will appeal to lazy teenagers, since he the steriotypical lazy teenager who doeesnt pay attention to much except video games and tv.
The basic narrative is as follows:
SCENE 1: On an unknown planet, a large yellow monster is suddenly abducted by an alien who likes collecting random aliens. The alien beams the yellow monster aboard his ufo styled ship.
SCENE 2: Meanwhile on another planet, a wimpy looking couple are watching the sunset. The male alien tells the other that he loves her. She replies "I like you too". The male alien goes for a kiss until suddenly the female alien bursts out screaming. The camera pans quickly to the left to reveal that an army of robots are preparing to attack them. The male alien assures the female, saying "don't worry, I'll save you". The camera zooms in to the male alien who then cries, "WITH MY SUPER POWERS". A voice (which sounds like a satnav) replies "YOU'RE POWERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, PLEASE CONNECT TO YOUR WI-FI". The male alien is then lazered to death by a robot.
SCENE 3: The camera zooms out of the screen where the alien is being lazered to death, to reveal the whole of the second scene was a TV show, which the main characters Freddy and Doopy are watching. Freddy looks up at Doopy and says "What the heck was that?". Doopy replies "That sucked..." Freddy then flicks through the channels to find other TV Shows. Suddenly Mr Grooper (the boss of GALEXACO) burstes in saying "WE HAVE A CUSTOMER, GET OUT THERE!".
SCENE 4: Freddy and Doopy welcome the customer to GALEXACO who turns out to be the hunter from Scene 1. Freddy asks the hunter "What can we do for you?" and the hunter replies "Get me some fuel! Dumb ass".
SCENE 5: Doopy goes to get the fuel for the customer. He finds a barrel which reads "WARNING EXPLOSIVE" and takes it anyway.
SCENE 6: They fill the ship with the wrong fuel. When Freddy tells the hunter that its ready to go, the hunter says thankyou, and flies off into the distance. Freddy then asks Doopy if that was the right type of fuel. Doopy replies "Uh... I think so..." and then the ship blows up in the sky. Doopy then says "Oops..."
SCENE 7: Meanwhile in space, the huge yellow monster is floating in space, and then begins to enter GALEXACO's planet's atmosphere. It looks confused and angry as it hurtles towards GALEXACO.
SCENE 8: Whilst Freddy and Doopy are stood watching the spaceship blow up in horror, the yellow monster suddenly crashes down to the ground in front of them, and rises up roaring. Freddy screams, whilst Doopy laughs at it's appearance. Mr Grooper hears the roar and bursts out of his office demanding "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" he then sees the yellow monster and says "WHAT?! OH NO! NOT ON MY GALEXACO!". Mr Grooper then pulls a lazer gun to destroy the monster. He fires and the monster disintegrates. The title credits then roll.
Once the animation is completed, GALEXACO will be distributed for free on my YouTube channel, where other wacky animations are featured. This is because the target audience are very likely to use YouTube since it is a very popular streaming website among the target audience's age range of 15 to 21 year olds. The reason the film will not be sold for money, is because it will be a very short film, and because the target audience are not likely to have much disposable income that they are willing to spend on a short film.
