Beast Morphers – Short Animated Film

The final year project will be an animated opening inspired by 80s cartoons and video games. The plan is to use 80s and 90s cartoons / anime as inspiration and for reference, due to the dynamic and creative openings. Earlier cartoons openings were portrayed as more on the corny side than serious, which adds charm to them as they age.

To do this, there is research into 80s and 90s openings on YouTube and investigate the intricacies of how they are animated, how the angles are portrayed, the music and sounds along with how dynamic the characters are, and finally how do they portray the story and motivations through a short intro. The concept will be around 60 – 90 seconds, to feel like a traditional cartoon opening.
