Brothers McLeod

        One of the first things that struck me about the Animation Production and Process module was that the outcome had to be 20 seconds long, no more, no less. While this is longer than the allowance for the last module (5-10 seconds), this animation had to have a narrative. How can you squeeze a story into less than half a minute? 

        As inspiration, I have watched the Brothers McLeod 365 animations. These monthly instalments feature a 1 second animation from each day of the month. While not exactly narratives, each animation demonstrates an action or reveal that can happen in a single second. They have made me see that a second has room for more than I envisaged, and consequently 20 seconds is plenty for a simple idea.
