'Unfortunate Deaths' Animations: 

After further brainstorming and discussion with friends and tutors, I eventually decided that I'd create unique situations / characters / deaths for my animations, as opposed to using the pre-existing situations. 
I decided that the animations I'd create would work with names only beginning with the letter 'A' and be rhythmically-paired with each other (1 rhymes with 2, 3 rhymes with 4, etc.). 
In terms of artistic influence, I would say that the work of Patrick McHale (creator of 'Over the Garden Wall') impacted this project's style the greatest. Primarily due to me watching the series recently and enjoying it greatly. 

(Below) Several storyboards created, that show 6 planned characters/deaths for this project.
