5 to 10 second animation -- OUAN403, Apply

The idea for my 10 second animation is a simple side-scrolling loop. The main character of a man with a pumpkin head walks along and is confronted by various ghouls and scary creatures, who all fail to scare him. Towards the end of the loop he will be frightened by something mundane and everyday, I am thinking maybe a stray cat or a baby in a pram.

I plan to have the characters animated in a simple black and white line style, with a watercolour or possibly collage background, similar to Regular Show uses textured backgrounds alongside flat digitally animated characters. I am also playing with the idea of having a parallax effect on the background, using two layers that move at different speeds to give the illusion of distance.
