11 Second Club Animation Concept

Entering the 11 Second Club as part of my Animation 2nd year module at Escape Studios.

Inspired by the audio file for the October competition, my idea will be set in an eerie, circus/carnival lot during night time.

My moodboard explains the overall atmosphere of the shot I'm going for, a dark and creepy feel of a carnival lot at night, coupled with flashing or dimly lit circus lights and the ever looming fear of clowns.



My basic thumbnails illustrate my rough concept for the shot. Whilst sirens blare in the background, Eleven, my chosen Maya rig, flicks a light switch a few times. The siren begins to subside and Eleven notices, looking up. Behind her, for a split second, a shadow or silhouette is seen in the background. 
Eleven, sensing a presence, flinches and hurries behind the carnival stall. She looks back over her shoulder and around the corner, whispering, "What's happening?" As she does, the camera slowly pans to the right, as a dismembered clown hand slowly creeps up from the right side of the screen. Shot cuts to black just before it reaches her.
