Here's a good student-made 3d model of a guy with a cape. 

Week 1 - Story and Sketches

My 3D animation will be entitled ''Dream Big''.

The animation will be about a little boy with a wild imagination named Billy who is in the middle of a daydream.
What we see is a tall and dashing knight in a shinig armor with a cape holding a shield in one hand and in the other, a sword, brandished over his head in celebration of victory over a big beast.
He gets snapped back to reality by his mother shouting 'Billy! Dinner's ready!'. We now see a boy in his room, with a cloth tied around his neck instead of a cape, a cardboard shield and sword which he quickly disposes off as he runs out yelling 'Be right there!' leaving behind all of his toys. Including a hopper ball - the monster he was celebrating victory over - which he runs back into the room to kick, making it bounce all around the place, ending the animation with one final bounce toward the camera.

This will be really challenging to animate but I believe that the simplicity of the story will compensate for the diffuclties I will face in both modelling and animating.
