Objects To Be Made
I will probably cover all the paper objects myself. The things in square brackets are those I'm not sure if they are going to be made that way.

Camera Script 1
I might make some changes to this or set it out again in a completely different way. Some instructions are hard to see because I wrote them out in soft pencil.

Camera Script Bullet Points V1
Dance Of The Dead – Camera Script
Document
1.
A
girl of around eight, named Claira, lies dead in the snow.
2.
Her thin,
black hair blows slightly in the freezing wind.
3.
The
ragged clothes she was wearing covered up most of the bruises and injuries on
her body. Only a few small cuts on her face could be seen. Her dark blue eyes
had been closed for a fair few hours now, and it was miracle that she hadn’t
been completely enveloped by the harsh ice, and the bitter snow, which formed
her bed. Claira’s little face showed no fear at all. She didn’t look miserable
either, as might be expected. She looked surprisingly at peace.
4.
Figures
were emerging through the blizzard.
5.
Their
feet could touch the ground without any discomfort.
6.
They
seemed not to feel the cold at all.
7.
They
were beautiful young women,
8.
but
there was something strange about them, something not quite of this world.
9.
They
were here for a purpose.
10. They made no sound as they approached
Claira.
11. They had known what they would find. They
had known she would be there.
12. One of the women takes the small girl’s
right hand in hers. Another takes her left.
13. The storm appears to overcome them
completely,
14. but then it subsides, and they are
somewhere quite different.
15. Wings have appeared on the women’s backs
16. they are flying, flying in a beautiful,
colourful world. Their clothes have all changed to match to the vibrant and
saturated world they are in.
17. Claira’s eyes flutter open and she finds
herself in the air,
18. her hands being held by two angels whose
kind smiles remind her of her mother.
19. Claira is, at first, confused, then,
rather frightened. She doesn’t know what has happened to her or where she is,
20. but as she takes in her wonderful
surrounds, it doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Claira doubts that she could even
have dreamt up a place like this. This is like an adventure.
21. They are suddenly flying down a huge
waterfall. The torrents of water are foaming, gurgling, rushing downwards,
crashing against the rocks below.
22. On reaching the bottom, they plunge into
the water below.
23. It is filled with colourful fish and
plants, Claira is so entranced by it all, that she doesn’t notice that she is
no longer breathing or that she does not feel wet at all.
24. The sea creatures do not seem scared of
her at all and are quite happy to swim close to her and her companions. The
angels, now that Claira is relaxed and becoming increasingly happy, only look
forward. Taking Claira on this journey is part of their job.
25. Claira is really starting to enjoy
herself and is smiling as she would never have done while she was alive, and it
would have hurt to do so if she still were.
26. They rise out of the water and into a
cream coloured meadow.
27. As they progress, multi-coloured flowers
of all shapes and sizes erupt from the ground, growing from small buds and
seeds to flowers in full bloom.
28. The angels sense the journey is coming to
an end and fly straight upwards until they are high enough to face the sun.
29. That is the way to go. They fly towards
to sun, and there, they will find heaven.

Other Help That Might Be Needed
There are few things that I will probably need help with that I haven't mentioned:
- Effects made in After Effects (such as snow)
- Working out amount of frames per certain movements
- More research
- Checking over the camera script
- Improving the animatic
Relevant Information
This project will be at 25 frames per second, in 1080p HD (1920 x 1080).
Characters and some parts of background will be made of paper of similar material.
Characters will need to be separated into parts so that they can be animated.
Characters will need to be drawn from different angles because parts will need replacing when at different view points.
Most of the actual animation will be done in Flash but some effects will be done in After Effects, such as snow.

Research Imagery
Here is some of the imagery I liked when I was researching. I thought it might give a very small idea of the sort of thing I'm looking for. The images are in no particular order.
