Sorry for my quick departure today. I was not feeling too good and ad to leave halfway through the meeting! Anyway I though I would list my ideas, and thoughts.
1. I thought we could have our pirates fighting with the old pirates who are mascots. I know Mike has had an incredibly similar idea...but great minds think alike. We could have them scaling the shelves, having epic battles and such. We could even have the current Breadbeard face off against the old one. We could then have a new box of the cereal emerge in the shop with the new redesigned mascots on it!
2. The Pirates are employees of the super market who are there to help the customers but when they spy their gold, go beserk and rampage. They can hide the ship behind a stack of boxes and then just burst through them.
3. Just keep the old idea and add a new begining and end onto it. The could start with illusrations of breadbeard's childhood showing his love for treasure (possibly he could even have a beard when he was a toddler). We could end it with the pirates getting arested. Patches points to a policeman's badge and shouts "TREASURE" then Breadbeard burst out of the hand cuffs and charges toward the policeman.
So here are the ideas guys. Tell me what you think. We shall have a group meeting tomorrow!

Some ideas...
Hey guys I got some ideas which we could put into the animation...
1) Pillaging a shelf of jam (or whatever u want it to be) with a tied up clerk on the floor and Walker unenthusiastically examining a jar of 'rare jam'
2) Swigging a tankard of milk rather than rum, with only Walker realising that it's milk
3) Manage to get thrown on top of the shelves of the store and go on a wild uncontrolable race across them with only Breadbeard unaware of the danger they are in
4) Patches gets dropped off the back of the ship with a rope accidentally tied around his ankle and gets dragged about and thrown against everything as the ship zooms around the store
5) Patches tied to the front of the ship badly dressed up like a mermaid
6) Walker spoofs 'Steam Boat Willy' while steering the ship and whistling
7) Telescope is actually a hollowed out stick of bread with lenses on each end

Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrtwork
Ahoy land lovers! Here be booty; says I!
Ok ok. This is a preview of the supermarket itself; while I already planned that we are far from the final design of the area; I wanted to show what would be available and from here we could create alternative routes and possible changes to the script....... I have no idea what I'm talking about; but hay; I did drawings with it too! Ohhhh...
The colours man...
Again, like the above "brownprint"; this is only early work on the concept of the supermarket itself. I just wanted to show what could be a possible outcome to the design of the setting; though I think the green-ish colours a little distracting if we're going to concentrate on the trolley-boat itself.
Now we play the game of find the "Pringles"!
Go on! Try it!
This was originally planned as another biro + digital painted work but well... erm... I'm a good worker. Really!
I had an idea of an alternative ending to the story would feature the capture of the Petey's Golden Treasure Breakfast Cereal but surrounded by Security workers AND the police; outside the supermarket itself. I originally saw the store on a second floor- shopping mall; and the picture shows the characters crashed in between the two floors; crashed in a interior garden-pool.
Anyway... how this happens; I'm not sure as of yet; but possibilities of one of the customers buying the ceral and pondering to the direction of the enterance is an option... though as said; undecided.
... I write too much.
More will come; depending on tomorrow's meeting. Most of the work in progress will be available in my blogwhichisn'tupyetsincei'mtoolazytomakeitrightnow. Enjoy the show!
P.S
I won't make any more pirate puns.

After our story set backs today i decided to post up some inspirational stuff from the bastards at Les Gobelins (god I hate them). Anway here ya go!
Story Nuked!
Hey guys the meeting with Mike and Dave was interesting. They raised some good points...mainly 'Why'. We went through so many ideas, are they toys, are they mascots, do they exist within the box? Soooooo many things. We should all take a night to come up with some ideas and meet first thing tomorrow!

Somethin' ta shoot for!
Hey yall! These are some images of some animations/games that I think look pretty cool. Some of these are shots from 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs', 'Up' and 'Coraline'. Obviously our film isn't going to look as good as these (look as good as Up...fat chance), but I really like the look. some of these shots are from the new 'Ratchet and Clank' game...which is a little bit closer to what we can do, but if we managed to make the film look as good as it I would be really pleased. The other images are of 3d models that someone made based on the artwork of Sean Galloway (one of my favourite artists).
Storyboards pt1
Here we go guys heres the pencil storyboards...some shot need to be changed but I think it can wait 'till after our chat with Mike Smith and Dave Bull.

craig n' the old lady!
These are my designs that I finally managed to upload. Here we have the redesign of the little old lady. I decided to give her a big granny jacket so that we don't have to model any legs. I tried to draw her a sweet as I could imagine, that way it will all the more awesome when she gets blasted by the canon.
We also can see my design for Craig from Dairy. I think everyone in the class knows who this guy is based on!
The Script!
Hey guys here's the rough script. (Orson Wells eat your heart out...I think not).
PIRATES OF THE PRODUCE AISLE
By Lewis Drew Taylor
Fade in to a close up shot of Breadbeard’s belt. The camera begins to pan upwards.
BREADBEARD
Argh since I was a wee nipper I’ve been searchin’ for me treasure
I can feel it’s close, I feel it a tinglin’ in me beard.
The camera has now panned up to his face. Breadbeard is scowling at the camera and looking around.
BREADBEARD (CONT’D)
My name is Capn’ Beardbeard, and along with me crew we are ‘The Pirates of the Produce Aisle!’
As Beardbeard speaks the last part of his line the camera quickly zooms out to reveal the boat in the middle of the produce aisle.
Patches turns around form the crow’s nest with a telescope in hand.
PATCHES
Aye Capn’ I’ve spotted it…the treasure!
Breadbeard looks upward with determination as he leaps up to the crow’s nest. He smacks patches out of the way as Breadbeard grabs the telescope as it is spinning in mid air, whilst this is happening patches has fallen to the ship’s deck below.
Breadbeard peers down the telescope. We see a 1st person view of the telescope focusing in on the box of ‘Petey’s Golden Treasure Breakfast Cereal’.
Breadbeard looks excited. He then jumps from the crow’s nest and stands proudly with his hands on his hips.
BREADBEARD
Mr Walker put down that zucchini! Patches set the sail!
Patches salutes gleefully.
PATCHES
Aye, aye Capn’!
A close up shot of the sail setting, we see the design of a skull with a pint of beer saying “GOT GROG?”
Breadbeard stands proudly at the front of the ship with his sword pointed forwards.
BREADBEARD
Yargh boys! Getting ready for our greatest adventure yet! FORWAAARD!!!
Quick cut to a long shot of the ship struggling to move whilst being paddled by ores.
Medium shot of Breadbeard looking agitated.
BREADBEARD
Mr Walker did ya think about maybe using…the thrusters?
Walker leaning on the back of the ship looking rather bored.
WALKER
Uhhh…(sigh)
Walker pulls out his handgun and fires.
The bullet hits the fire extinguishers attached to the back of the ship. The ship then blasts forwards.
The crew grabs the nearest object to them to stop themselves from falling over.
The boat swings round the corner and begins to speed down the next aisle.
Patches holding onto the mast of the ship points forward.
PATCHES
Capn’ it’s Craig from dairy!
The camera zooms towards Craig who is working next to the shelves.
BREADBEARD
Craig move ya arse!
Craig jumps out of the way just in time as the boat speeds past him.
WALKER
Captain, I believe we are approaching the target.
Breadbeard smiles in satisfaction.
An old lady begins to shuffle into the way of the ship.
Patches spots her.
PATCHES
Capn’ Senior Citizen dead ahead!
Breadbeard forces his way into the shot and grabs Patches by the face.

BREADBEARD
Fire!
Walker fires the canon. The cannonball knocks the old lady into a shelf.
The ropes break and the trolleys come lose from the bottom of the boat. The ship comes lose and falls to the ground. Grinding across the floor.
The boat eventually comes to a halt and taps into a shelf.
The crew emerge looking dizzy. Cut to a shot of ‘Petey’s Golden Treasure’ on the shelf. Breadbeard is overjoyed. An angelic glow surrounds the cereal. Breadbeard stretches his arms out. His fingers are quivering, as he is about to touch the cereal.
Walker taps Breadbeard on the shoulder.
WALKER
Urr. Captain Breadbeard?
BREADBEARD
What Walker?
The camera then zooms out to reveal the boat surrounded by security guards.
Cuts to black.
BREADBEARD
Oooooh. Bollocks.
