Candidate name: Danny Bradley Theme: E stings
Title of the Animation:
The Invasion
Story or plot of animation
A person goes to sleep in their room and shut the door slightly so we can still
see a strip of light on the wall and the outline of the persons head, then
show a stick man of some form climbing out of his head on the wall the man
goes through a journey of troubles and problems as he tries to climb up the
wall where the strip of light is. Spiders, other giant insects and purple
monsters which try to kill him but he bravely battles them off and as he kills
them they splat into E4 then fall down the wall, he carries on until he
reaches the gold at the top, as he grabs the gold he falls of the balcony, as
he is falling he pulls out an umbrella and slowly falls down through the
clouds and skyscrapers until he reaches back towards the person, it finishes
with him vanishing into the person and then the persons alarm clock goes
off and he wakes up.
Reasons for selection of theme (including inspiration from the work of others)
2. I choose to create an E sting because you
can create a stop motion on any theme as
long as the E4 logo appears. The logo also
can appear in any format. It is a really
versatile competition and winning the
completion would be amazing exposure
for my work.
The reason I selected this theme is
because it is a fun idea which will
appeal to all age groups, including
E4s target audience of 16-35.
Also because the idea for my stop
motion is fairly simple I think visually
it will work well.
I gained some inspiration from this
video; I want to do something similar
except with stickmen.

Target Audience
According to Channel 4 E4 is...
E4 is the entertainment destination for a cutting edge young audience
Its eccentric and witty persona and strong branding make it a massive talking
point
E4 is on Freeview, DSAT and cable, and E4 HD on Sky increasing its
audience potential big time
It also won channel of the year at The Broadcast Awards in Feb 2011
E4 is one of the most original digital channels, sucessfully launching mega
hits like Skins, The Inbetweeners and Misfits
With loads of Facebook appreciation groups, E4 is here to entertain
e4.com reaches 2m+ a month and has great brand opportunities
3. My Ident could potentially be seen in
between the following programs.
These shows are funny and relevant
to my age group, I want my Ident to
reflect this.
Creating the competition was also a
great way for channel 4 to show its
viewers it respected their talent and
creativity which will make their channel seen make interested in its target
audience.
Equipment needed
Various coloured paper
Blue tac
Camera
Tripod.
I will be shooting this in a bedroom of some form, probably mine. I will
need lots of paper, pens and a few little props such as cotton pads as
clouds.
Techniques that will be used and how they will help convey the visual
message
I will place my camera in a set position, like the creator did in the Post it
note Stop Motion and in Gulp

I really like the effect of making the
objects move rather than the
camera. It works well with stop
motion, making it look as if the
objects are moving across the floor.
4. I will zoom in and out and experiment
with depth of field to place more
focus on different parts of the action.
I will explain this more in my story
board and dope sheet.
Ideas for sound track
Although for the 10 second E sting
using commercial music isnt’
allowed for the full 60 second stop
motion I will use a track by Slow
Club - I was unconscious, it was a
dream as the back ground track

I will also add my own sound
effects and noises.
For the 10 second E sting I will just
use the sound effects I have
created and some of the sound
effects provided on the E4 website
