2. TITLE OF PRODUCTION
The name of my production is called Desktop Diaries, which is a
similar concept to Aardman’s Creature Comforts, but instead, its
all about stationary and how they adapt their qualities.

Set Colours
These colours are reflections of rough thoughts of
what the set out and scenes of the characters will
look like. From looking at them, they all seem to give
off a happy and joyful vibe, with a different variety of
colours, all which the majority seem to be bright.
4. STYLE SHEET: FONTS
These fonts will be used as inspiration for the title and
intro of my video. Because it is a kid friendly video, I
wanted to make it seem appealing to may audience, so I
decided to make the font seem innocent and bouncy,
something for everyone to enjoy. From this selection, I
feel a sense of happiness and joy as these fonts feature
a somewhat happy vibe.
5. STYLE SHEET: IMAGE STYLES
These images
provide a similar
feeling to my own
set up for the
video; a simple
desktop upon a
simple background
with other objects
surrounding the
characters. In
order to make it
more appealing, I
will need to add
more objects
around to make it
seem like an
6. LAYOUT OF BACKGROUND AND
CHARACTER POSITION KEY
This layout image gives me a good idea of how I want the
characters to potion and where would it be best got them to
be filmed. Also it gives me an idea of what best space would
work best for which character.
8. STAN THE STAPLER
Stan is a depressed stapler. He describes how he is usually
punched in the back of the head as apposed to his role as a
stapler. He also describes how the staples inside him talk
all the time, but somehow keep him company.

creativity works if you put your mind to it and what the
qualities of being a pencil are.

very tough and strong in whatever she does. She
describes about being useful as a hole punch and
how she thinks it’s cool.
11. ROSS RUBBINGTON
Ross is the tough one out of the bunch. He talks
about how he talks in a somewhat pronunciation
speech and it reflects on his design, which is
stereotypical of him.
12. LADY RULER

as well as describing how she keep things straight
and aligning properly. Due to this, she thinks that she
is the best piece of stationary.
13. BLADES THE SCISSORS

about how he always has sharp speech and sharp
thoughts to always think about.
14. LOCATION
my video will take
place will be on top
of the desk of my
filming studio, where
the characters will
describe their traits
and qualities and
why they think that
their qualities is
good. Also, the
majority of the
background is good
because it backs up
the idea that it’s all
about stationary
15. EQUIPEMENT
The following equipment I will require for my video will be my
mobile phone for taking the frames, and a tripod for phones
to help get a straight and no shaking view. I will extend the
height of the tripod for different scenes for better quality.
17. STORYBOARD ANALYSIS
The storyboard shows a clear and colourful
representation of what my animation should look
like initially and intentionally. The background and
setting of this film will be my desk in my studio
where the characters will spread in parts of the
setting for their individual interviews. The
characters will all have their own way of speaking,
mainly because the actors are improvising their
words as if the characters were indeed real.
18. SHOT LIST
This shot list will help
give me an idea or
how I would want my
video to play out and
how long does each
parts of the footage
last.
Also, I gave a brief
description of what
will happen in each
moment so that I will
have a good idea
what to involve within
the scene.
19. MISE EN SCENE
video will take place upon the
desktop of my desk in my new
studio, where the characters will
be spread out equally so that
it’s not compact.
Costume: There will be no
costume required for this
production, as the characters
are all made out of stationary
pieces
Lighting: The lighting for the
scene of my video will come
form natural sunlight from the
window behind me, as it will
project nicely onto the set,
especially on a nice sunny day.
Movement of figures: The
movement of figures will be
very simple and quick as they
have no arms or legs, they will
simple slide or turn on the
