Animation Course 2010 - HALP

[SpinningCubeClock]

So I've been looking at animation courses around my city and have found only 1 university (college) that actually appeals to me. I went to their open day today and picked up some 'pre-selection kits' which are basically a little test to see if you're good enough for the course. If they like your shit you get called up for an interview and you bring in some of your work and they look at it and talk to you about it and stuff.

In these kits you need to submit a short 10 panel storyboard (with no words or text) on a topic of your choice, out of the 4 they give you for that course. Only 2 of the courses I am looking at need this storyboard/panel thing.

This is where you come in clock crew!

It needs to be 7-8 panels of a story, then the 9th or 10th panel should be say, a punchline, a joke, a surprise, some way of ending the mini story.

For the course I REALLY want to get into (Animation and Interactive Media), the 4 topics are:

-Cycle
-The Flight
-Memories
-Fire!

For one of the other courses which would be really swell, but not my first preference, (Games Graphics Design) the topics are as follows:

-Jump!
-It came from above
-Forgotten
-Last Chance

Before/while I start brainstorming I would like to get some other ideas from my chums here. I'm not asking you to do this for me, I just wanted to know if anyone here as any brilliant ideas regarding any of these things. First thing that comes to your mind, anything. I would just like to get other peoples views on the topics to get a broad perspective of it and then work from there. You'll probably all give me ideas that are either homo-erotic or COMPLETELY inappropriate but I'm willing to take that risk.

tl;dr

Come up with ideas for a 10 panel comic WITHOUT WORDS for 1 of these topics from each group.

Animation Course:

-Cycle
-The Flight
-Memories
-Fire!

Games Graphics Design Course:

-Jump!
-It came from above
-Forgotten
-Last Chance

people are camping and need a fire. sarah points to the bushes and looks at timmy. timmy smiles.
he then grabs her hand and takes her into the bushes. this is where the "mini story" takes place wink wink

Cycle

An old man is sitting in a lifeless room. A young kid comes in and kills the old man. The kid realizing what he has done, does nothing but sits in the room as he ages. Eventually wishing he would just die, a young boy comes into the room and kills him.

Its really obvious but ok.



Forgotten

Panels of someone wandering through an abandoned world, a showing off a lot of neat landscapes.In the last few panels it zooms out and you see it is just a microscopic part of a room where a party or something is taking place.

Cliche as fuck but whatever.

I can think of something nice for flight but I think I might use this idea to help me with applying to the ANU

[Topcatyo]

Don't do anything and then submit the 10 blank panels as the topic Forgotten.
Then, for Fire, just set the whole building on fire.

Don't do anything and then submit the 10 blank panels as the topic Forgotten.

I would actually do this if I wasn't serious about getting in.

memories

a guy has a flashback to when he got raped by a homeless man with a wooden leg
then he remembers that it's not a flashback and that it's happening to him at that very moment
then he gets a splinter in his dick

WHAT A TWIST
