The story begins with our "average joe" dreaming of an Aztec adventure. The story is set deep within his imagination, where we follow his quest to locate the ancient artefact through dense jungle and Aztec ruins. The combination of his dream and his compulsive sleep walking habits, lead to the dustruction of his apartment. The story concudes when our main character becomes consious and notes his trashed surroundings.
This story gives us so much room for creativity: visual and filmic. The main reason is because the jungle and temple environments are based in a dream world, therefore hyper-realism can be scrapped and a more original, warped and stylistic look/feel can be used. It gives us the opportunity to create exaggerated scenes and actions. The film is shorter, faster in pace and alot stronger. The comedy apects will come from the contrasts of the fast paced, exaggerated dream world, and the slow, subtle movemets within his real life apartment. Here he will unconsiously put himself in danger that will directly lead to the destruction of his home. The question is "why are we doing this film in animation?" and answer we must work to, is that we can create the impossible and stretch the boundaries of our film.
