Bike Pixilation idea

I am really excited at the prospect of animating a pixilation, as an animation student I spend lots of my time animating 2D digital, so the thought of animating something physically makes a nice change from what I usually do and gives me a chance to really experiment.

Our current idea is that we are going to have a person riding a bike, this will be in the form of a pixilation, the character will be lying on the floor as the pictures will be taken from the ceiling, allowing us to manipulate the floor as the background. We will use bright colours and exciting fabrics to represent the child like stages of life, and as the child grows up we will represent this by changing the fabrics to a more boring, dull colours.

After the meeting with Sarah I feel more positive about the idea, as she agreed that it is far less complicated than the previous idea and is more possible to achieve.
Our plan of action is currently:

to gather as many research videos as possible relating to the idea;

to then think of clever quirks we can add to our film, for example broccoli for trees when the character is a child;

to create some test shoots so we can test what works and what doesn't;

and finally to create a detailed animatic so when it comes to filming we know exactly what we are doing and when, so it can run as smoothly as possible.
