Fantastic Voyage - Thumbnails

With these thumbnails I was trying to illustrate the end of my animation when the nucleus emerges before it opens up...in thumbnails 1-4 I tried to represent the Ribosome and the Lysosome with the nucleus in the middle (Ribosome left, Lysosome, right). Though this is painterly, it isn't what I want colour wise, but as thumbnails portraying the set up, I'm happy, I'll be working into other thumbnails to get the desired effect, which is cross between from very sci-fi and a psychedelic dream

Fantastic Voyage - Visual Concept and Influence Map

This is a concept in progress of my nucleus at the end of the animation; it's meant to split apart and slowly focus on the nucleus before cutting to the student who just woke up form his dream. I'm not sure this is what i want the unraveling of the nucleus to look like, at the moment it's just a thumbnail, but I'm looking to develop it into the style similar to what's in my Influence Map

Fantastic Voyage - Early Thumbnails

I started visualizing what I wanted the inside of this cell to look like as you fly through it, I want a psychedelic feel, though these are far from it...it just shows what I initially thought it'd look like

I went back and then did some visual research on what i want my environment to reflex, these are my early visual influence for the next few concepts I come up with;

Fantastic Voyage - Refining Research

For the 3D Animation on Fantastic Voyage Project I decided to look at the structure of the Eukaryotic Cell...

An more specifically, the Animal Cell.

Another idea which was floating around, was having the animation like an objective based game/checklist inspired by modern games which don't simply don't have a start and end but objectives that need to be completed to move on...so as the Cell's being constructed in this space, it's ticking of Objectives which are part of the bigger object; "Create a Eukaryotic Cell"

Sound-wise, I'm thinking something very alien, I imagine the construction of the cell being slow and calculated as each organelle is being labelled.

These are the type of sounds similar to what I imagine the animation will have

More research will be done for the target audience, because although it's targeted toward teenagers still in school, being in the age of the internet they'll be a variety of tastes within an age group

With the audience given it seems the obvious choice would be to go with an animation heavily inspired by games, cartoon movies, e.t.c...but going down that route seems too limiting and if not done correctly the video could be a disaster, this "age group" wants something new yet familiar and the goal is to get the viewers interested in Structure of the Cell.
