My concept for the final project would be to create a series of interactions between to generated characters. These interactions would illustrate the relation between the old and the new. Both characters would be cartoons drawn, drawing on my experience in the use of Photoshop and cartoon styles. To start with I will only have 2 characters however, with time I may add more that would have the option of spawning. However, only two characters will be spawned at any one time, one character representing the old generations and one the younger.
The characters will either slide or perhaps fade into place and a dialog bubble will appear over each of them. The older figure will say something from a predetermined set of recognizable quotes from classic literature. The second characters bubbles will be fed will quotes pulled from twitter. However this feed will search for posts pertaining in some vague way to the first characters quote based on key words taken from it.
A rough example of this would be character 1 says "Live by the sword die by the sword" and the second figure would be fed a random twitter post about swords.
Timeline:
Having roughly 4 weeks. Item are arranged for most difficult/ important to least. That way should a problem arise it will be earlier then later.
Week 1. Get the twitter feeder up and working and begin compiling some classic literature quotes
Week2. Using place holder characters, set up the character entrance and figure out exactly how the shape voice bubbles.
Week3. Draw final models for characters (however many that may be), explore the potential of different back grounds.
Week 4. Run final tests and work out bugs
