The story starts in a teenagers bedroom. he is fanatical about space and galaxies. The room is filled with space memorabilia. the character is looking at a poster on his wall of the black hole. The character falls into a dream.

scene two

location:

Space [dream]

The next couple of scenes are a dream..

The character is flying through space with a jet propelled back pack. The character flys straight into the black hole.

Patterns emerge in front of home from check to zig-zag circles, 

Scene three

Location: Black Hole

the character has fallen onto another planet and starts walking investigating his new surroundings. The character starts to transform from one character to another. the character expression is full of panic.

Alternative – scene three

the character has fallen onto another planet and starts walking investigating his new surroundings. the character starts to fall apart and come back together again.

Scene Four 

Location: Bedroom

Alarm rings, Awake from dream [morning] 

research

Original Sketch book research. Based on the development of black hole formations:

black hole scientific research

Original research based on the black hole. I researched theories based around the black hole and different categories of black holes and where they have been seen. I visually researched the black hole and looked at how they are formed how they are linked to galaxies and large stars.

alternative character

When the character enters the black hole he goes through a series of transformations from a rat to a bear etc.. this is one of the characters that the main character may turn into..

character development [fully body]

character development [heads]

I have focussed on the head as I want to present the facial expressions of the character which i feel is important in the development of  character building.

Some of the proportions are exaggerated in the face the jaw line is squared off giving the character a superhero appearance. The character has a stylized haircut giving him a contemporary look. I have developed the character in mind with the brie specifications as it is aimed at young people. 

Storyboards

Location : Space near the  galaxy M87

Heading towards one of the black holes at the centre of the M97 galaxy. Having researched black holes scientist have suggested that there may be  a black hole at the centre of M97

The storyboard starts with the character within the spaceship. There are some  problematic issues with this story board that need to be addressed:

Who the character is? The storyboard does not suggest enough the characteristics and personality of the character.

Why is the character there, what is his drive, the audience has to be interested in what is happening. 

The intro is too long and needs shortening.

Detailed background black hole

A detailed scene created in PS CS3 including the black hole and background. Both objects will be developed and imported into FL CS3.

Animated Loop

Three images exported from a looped Animated Sequence using the space background developed in PS CS3. The foreground objects are created in AI CS3. 

Space scene developed in flash cs3

Exported images of the animated sequence of a planet developed in FL CS3.

Space scenes developed in PS CS3

A space scene featuring a black hole created in PS CS3. The layers are built up using a series of layers texturized using noise outer glows and lens flair's.  

Visual Research / Black Holes

D&AD Brief: Animation / Science Museum / 2009

A collection of detailed illustrations produced demonstrating the effects that surround the black hole.

Having researched the fundamental theories behind the black hole, the only visible objects that are part of the black hole are gases starts light and space itself. Surrounding the black hole is a disk known as a quasar. Some black holes illustrated below produce a ray of light called jets in the centre of the black hole. 

Early existence and the creation of a black hole usually starts with a disk called a Ecretion Disk made up of gases. the gases swirl round and eventually caused the centre to collapse causing a black hole.

Beyond the black hole - In theory the reason for why it is referred to as the black hole is because the centre emits no light similarly to the colour black, The centre drags matter such as gas stars light and the fabric of space itself. There are three types of Black holes: 

A mini black hole. • 

A Stella Black hole which evolves from a collapsed star • 2 – 15 times bigger than our sun. 

A Super massive black hole in theory is 1 – 2 million • times in mass of our sun and lies within the core of many galaxies. 

Links with black holes and galaxies have been suggested and suggestions of the black hole playing the part of the existence of the formations of galaxies has been reported in the past.
