For this project, the piece I want to create is a 60 second opening sequence for a TV show. I want to create something for a fictional show that’s target audience is children. This opening piece will be 2D and include graphic work produced by me as well as manipulated stock images for the background layers. I will be drawing the characters and foreground elements myself and using stock for background as this will make it easier to create high quality character graphics and such. I want the show to be a child’s adventure animation with a light friendly tone to it. As it will be an intro sequence, and the target audience will primarily be children, the sequence will mainly focus on establishing the world and introducing the 4 main characters that I intend to include. It will also of course feature a title card at the end of the sequence to introduce the show.
Below are some existing children’s show openings that I found interesting when looking into existing intro sequences. In the second clip below, from the show Gravity Falls, I particularly enjoy the named character introductions which effectively name the characters and I will most likely be including something similar to this.
