Form

The animation is in the style of Japanese anime like style with detailed character designs and simple background. The style draws from shows such as Dragon Ball Z which displays the unique Japanese manga art style and other Japanese anime such as Fairy tail and one piece which have very classic drawn characters that have very generic and stereotypical anime characters e.g. the pure hearted protagonist and his serious rival. the theme of my anime is that it is set in a video game which is why it features loading screens and has some traits of a role playing game such as magic and swords.

Animation Type

The title of my anime Ethereon the fallen king as it is named after the main protagonist Ethereon who lost his throne to phantom knigh (the villain). The animation is a a short introduction to the anime to set the tone throughout the rest of the anime. It has a running time of 2 minutes to show the first battle. The anime will be created using 2D animation with tools such as adobe illustrator and photoshop

The anime is being animated using adobe illustrator software instead of hand drawn because it allows me to draw a character by drawing each individual body part and move them separately which makes it overall easier to animate small movements and walk cycles. Digital animation is a trend that is being utilized by modern cartoons and anime so i have used the trend in my animation because it is very effective and reduces the chance of in consistencies in each frame.

Genre

The anime is a typical shonen anime, the speech throughout is based on text based JRPGs e.g. pokemon. The narrative follows Ethereon who is preparing for his enemy phantom knight to attack and then facing off against him..

Narrative / Character development

The narrative of the anime is that Ethereon is awaiting the arrival of his enemy phantom knight. the two face off and have a battle for the throne.

as Ethereon is a  pure hearted and simple minded character who acts whats he feels is the morally just and right thing to do like Goku from Dragon Ball Z which is why if i was to choose a voice actor for him i would choose Sean Schemmel the voice of Goku from Dragon Ball Z. for The voice of phantom knight i would choose yuri Lowenthal because he is able to do a very good serious character voice as proven in the anime naruto where he voices the serious rival Sasuke. The voice actor i would choose for blue is Kaori Mizuhashi who voices Navi in the legend of zelda the reason for this is because i want blue to have an almost child like and high pitched voice.

Risk Assessmentcomputer work: When creating the animation I have to take a 15 minute rest every hour as I am animating using the computer screen which can damage your eyes if you don't take. When taking these breaks I also have to leave the computer so that I do not risk eye strain or blood clots when working. I must also use adequate lighting when working so that I do not cause eye strain when working.

Risk	Cause	Solution
Damaging and irritating eyes	Looking at screen for too long and poor lighting.	Take regular 15 minute breaks away from the computer. make sure to look away from any kind of screen to avoid eye strain.
Getting blood clots	Sitting down for too long.	Take regular breaks to walk around and stretch joints.
Repetitive strain injury	Repeating the same moment over and over again.	Take regular breaks away from computer and rest joints, do a different activity to rest and stretch your body.
Bad posture	Sitting awkwardly on chair	Use a chair specially designed for computer use to for good posture.

Call sheet:
A crew is not needed for this project because I am the only person creating the animation. I can also get assets like sound effects from the internet for free so I will not need a foley artist. Because my animation is in the style of a JRPG game where all the speech is text and the characters audio is through beep sound effects I don't need any voice actors for the project.
