P2 Animation Product research

                     
Afro Samuri is similar t my 'Space Crust'. Because of the combat
based movements and dynamic straight lines and sharp edges style that
add an attitude and speed aspect to the
 animation. My show will also use a similar
hip hop based soundtrack. Which will add to
the atmosphere and appeal to the targeted audience


Adventure time follows the 2 heros, Finn, a human boy and Jake the dog
much like my product follows to characters, Perry the boy and Salami the dog.
They are together all the time and both have very strong bonds with each other. Unlike adventure time in my product the dog isnt humanized. He cannot talk but i think this adds a nice, unusual aspect to my project.

Rocket Monkeys
Rocket monkeys is set in space, same as my product. They travel around in a spaceship as a duo and a sidekick monkey. A lot of my product will also be set inside a spaceship. This show is also focussed around comedy and adventure whilst having a specific job to do, being secret agents and delivering pizza. a setting like this is popular because of many possibilities that can happen in this setting allowing for audashous and extraordinary plots

The Amazing world of gumball.
The Amazing World Of Gumball incorperates the same style of animation as my product and features characters around the same age. it is aimed at the same market at mine and consists of the same length of eposodes as my series will do

treatment

Treatment
My animation consits of an intergalactic pizza delivery boy called Perry. Perry is a confident, athletic, quick witted and create person who does take faliure well. Passionate about doing his job and to do it well. He has a thurst for adventure which can lead him to be sidetracked. His task is to deliver pizzas a across the galaxy. Making interplanetary stops which, more often than not are accompanied by space monsters,  devastating weather conditions or the inevitable interference by rival pizza deliver firm .

Perry starts off as an enthusiastic but minimally skilled employee. Over time he become better at his job and when he adopts a space dog from the planet Canidae. He becomes his best friend and they spend all their time together.
Every episode Perry is sent to deliver a pizza or pizzas somewhere. He delivers them with his pet dog in a spaceship. often coming into  trouble along the way. He is has a small amount of kung fu training which he uses (sometimes inappropriatly) to fight a host of space monsters and villians.
Each eposode will run for 22 minutes, 12 eposodes in a series

Character shape research

Typical viewer profile

Gender- both, but mostly male

Typical reader

Name- Josh

Typical day- Josh is 13 and goes to secondary school. He wakes up at 7:30 to get to school for 9. He has time in the morning to watch tv and he usually chooses to watch Cartoon Network. He is studying art, English, maths, sciences, german and humanities. He finishes school at 3:35 and 2 days a week has sports clubs after school. When he gets home from school he will oftern watch cartoons but when the weather is nice he will go out and play with his friends but he will need to be back for dinner. If he can he will choose to watch tv after dinner at around 7pm. At this time he may choose to watch non cartoons like wildlife programmes but will still check Cartoon Network to see what is on. He will go to bed around 10pm on a school night and 11:30 latest on a weekend

Hobbies and interests- He enjoys sports and playing with friends. Sports cliubs take up 4-6 hours of his week every week. He also does a lot of drawing and art at home as a hobbie. His favourite food is peperoni pizza and chips He like Hip hop music and is interested in current hip hop culture.

 

Spending Power- He gets and allowance from his parents which is £25 a month and he has a paper round which he get £30  a month from. So his spending power is partly reliant on his parents but he can also afford to pay for things he is interested in and his parents wouldn’t be willing to buy for him.

 

Typical Media consumption-

He watches, on average 30 minutes of cartoons in the morning and 1 – 3 hours of TV after school. He also plays on his play station. He likes games like fifa 13 and Call Of Duty Modern Warfare and enjoys the social multiplayer aspect to it.

The animation will appeal to him because it has similar astatic appearance as the other media he likes. For example the 2d animations on cartoon network and the graphic styles of b-boy characters which is a big influence to the style of the cartoon. The comedy is specifically tailored for his age group meaning he will find it humorous as well as entertaining.
