Synopsis for Senior Animation: The Eccentricities of F. H. Cilley

This animation is a brief narrative biography of the life and mysterious death of a crazy man, in small town, in the year 1906. The town’s people thought of him as a loveable oddball, but his brother saw him as an embarrassment. It briefly describes the crazy man’s life and his many “eccentricities.” And it concludes with his mysterious death, and the speculation that his brother had something to do with it.

The visual style of the piece is key, as the story is more a biography than anything else. I want to achieve a very decorative, overly-patterned look to the backgrounds, but also keep the character animation somewhat realistic and subtle. Interesting transitions will be used wherever I can fit them to keep it even more engaging for the audience.
