The Cyclist:Wild camera moves around the bicyclist for lots of crazy angles and complex camera shots. Lots of light effects and glow, fun with colour detail all day long.

The Dragon Stairs: AFX treatment of still or two-frame animations within comics panels. The mood board is a sample, but we could probably do it in two pages. The manga sequence of FLCL is a perfect example of this in execution. We can also show what we’ve done in the past with M and Mighty Meds.

We could shade ‘em with tones for the manga look, or paint ‘em for the manwha look (a lot of Chinese comics are painted like Marvel comics with ink styles like Ryoichi Ikegami). Maybe a cool texture and only the shoes and certain action elements are in colour.
Here’s an example of how a technique similar to what we are suggesting has been done to a fun affect. Our usage of this technique will have actual animation in the frame, in place of the static images in this version… but this can give some ideas:

The Color Run: Flat shapes, no lines, high contrast. This and Meteor Run are the more traditional animation heavies… insane motions and camera work. Having fun with the kinetic energy’s that the Flywire shoes carry our heroine’s through…

The Jump Rope: Rotoscope with heavy paints. Like the cyclist, we roto a person jumping rope. CG lava hands (Kevin assures that this would be somewhat easier than hand-animating them), and a ridiculously lush painted BG. We’d like to actually paint the footage of the person jumping rope, using the color and light of the live footage as the base for the paints, and completely eliminating the need to trace the raw footage first.

The Meteor Kick: Full-blown, bad-ass, hot-as-hell anime action awesomeness. This is OUR house, yo. Pull out the stops and kick out the jams. Just have to keep reminding ourselves… “don’t let it go over 15 seconds, okay?”
