Animation Style

Harvest Moon Animation - Milk Drinking Contest

First Attempt At The Cake!

Untextured...Unfinished first attempt and idea of how the cake would look.

Story

Butler creates a delicious strawberry sponge cake.

He takes it in his hands and begins to walk out of the kitchen.

Butler slips on a rolling pin left on the floor and the cake spins into the air.

Butler looks on helplessly as the cake flies upwards and then back down towards him.

He closes his eyes.

The cake lands perfectly back into his hands. Butler jumps up happily with the surviving cake and continues his walk out of the kitchen.

As an extra punch, Butler while walking with his happy face (^__^) walks into a saucepan hanging from the ceiling and the animation ends.


ANOTHER Idea is that the cake doesn't survive and he has to re-bake another cake.

We follow that; adding ingredients, spinning the mixture and watching it cook in the oven.
Then another disaster could happen or Butler eats the cake for himself.

Inspiration for style of animation...

Harvest Moon games, simply but incredibly cute animations
