Initial Ideas:
Basically I have chosen the idea of evolution to base my animation on.
I have been inspired by the game Spore. In the game you start as a small cell and begin to evolve yourself by eating other cells and eventually you grow enough to because a real creature.
My animation will basically be a movie of this transformation with a few interactive elements mixed in. The user will be able to choose path the cell takes whilst evolving. I would also like to make some interactive background elements to the animation.
Here is the evolution of the cell:
Below I have drawn some very basic story boards as to how the animation will go.
