Pitch for "Undressed"

Log Line: Lustful feelings lead to self-destruction when a hot sausage patty and a loaf of french bread suggestively flirt and are united only to be eaten.

Synopsis: The story takes place primarily in the kitchen of a po'boy restaurant. As the hot sausage patty is being cooked on the grill, he sees the loaf of french bread being dressed on the counter top beside him. The two food items suggestively flirt back and forth which each other. With all of his fixation on the seductive loaf, the hot sausage patty fails to notice the hot sausage link flirting to the french bread as he stands on the grill right behind him. The grill cook's spatula comes down to the grill and scoops up the hot sausage link to be put onto the french bread. The hot sausage patty is distraught at the sight and throws a piece of meat from the grill at the link to knock him off of the spatula. The patty is then scooped up by the spatula and put on the french bread instead. The loaf and the patty bask in the moment of their unity as they are in the hands of a customer destined to meet their doom.

Tone and Execution: My approach to this project is to create a piece that appears to be safe in content but in actuality contains quite suggestive material.

Objective: The objective of this project is to convey how lustful thoughts and actions can lead to self-destruction in a comical light and through unusual characters. I believe that animation is the best way to tell my story and to make my characters believable and brought to life.

Target Audience: The message delivered in this animation can be understood by young adults and older, but the characters, places, and terms used in the piece should be more familiar to the people in my audience who share the culture portrayed.

Positioning: I plan to reach my audience with a comical story, a friendly aesthetic, interesting characters, and references to a certain culture.

Mandatories: What was needed to make this project happen is

• good story/concept
• interesting characters
• software
• music and sound

Inventory:

The weekends plus my Fridays off from school will be greatly utilized for the post-production of this piece.
