Crazy Ideas for 3D Animation

3D animation makes the images on the screen jump out, alive. Because 3D is still relatively rare, almost anything done in 3D seems novel. But with 3D you can make an audience feel present in a moment they might otherwise never get a chance to. 3D animation can take a viewer in a visceral way to the tiniest microscopic organism or someone else's imagination. Looking around, almost anything could be seen with new eyes in 3D.
  1. Life Cycle of a Slime Mold

    • Slime molds are protists who move along something decaying, like a dead tree, consuming it. When they are ready, they pull their mass into a stalk with a bulb at the top of it and send out spores...baby protists. Make a closeup 3D of a slime mold, munching decaying matter, reorganizing, forming a stalk and spewing out spores.

    Life Cycle of a Drop of Ocean Water

    • It could emerge from the sea floor, spewed out by a vent in the sea floor, run into bioluminescent algae and fish; be consumed by a whale and discharged; run into a shark; get tangled in seaweed; be collected into a gathering wave and smashed onto a sandy or rocky shore.

    Emotion

    • Make a 3D of emotions as you see them: love; joy; loss; fear. Use shapes, colors, iconic images. Move through the emotions in 3D.

    Battle Scene

    • Depict a battle scene, especially one that hasn't been done repeatedly. Create a scene of Celtic warriors in their Torcs; Amazonian indian tribes fighting in the jungle or completely invented warriors battling for a reason that comes from your own imagination.
