Transitions

So I've been thinking about ideas for my Transitions piece, and I've decided to move away from the utter insanity of Cyriak's animation style and into a more subdued but still intriguing approach.

One idea I've had was to follow the Transition of a person coming into the world and growing up through animated signage. I'm thinking the first scene will probably feature the male and female signs of public toilets, perhaps animating the two figures walking out of their individual frames and into each others' arms or something.

The animation inside the signs for the figures might look something like this:



Of course, the "stepping out" of the figures from their signs will require techniques like masking, but I think the real difficulty will be to try and make believable motion for the characters.
