Contest Brief

I want an animated story of a logo. The animation should tell a short story and should make people smile when they watch it :-)

The animation will primarily be used in Powerpoint presentations (next step is to make animations for use online, and we'll probably rehire the person who wins this contest for further work). The logo is for an encyclopedia.

The logo consists of two elements:
- A bird, with a magnifying glass as its head.
- The name

The animation should:
- Have a black background
- Be in 16:9 format
- Use limited colours, preferably just white on black
- Be 1-2 minutes long
- Start with a pure black screen, finish as the attatchment final.pdf
- Be rendered in any common video format (not flash)

We'd like the bird to do stuff with the letters. Carry them around, jump on them (Pixar style), nudge, play. The birds should be playful, inquisitive and smart.

The magnyfying glass should be a part of the story, it doesn't have to be very prominent, but it should be used as a magnifying glass at some stage.


Ideas for the animation:
- It could start by the magnifying glass appearing in the middle of the screen, enlarging until it gets so big that it disappears outside the screen.
- As the magnifying glass zooms closer we see 4-5 birds walking around, looking for something.
- One of the birds sneaks off and find a letter just outside the screen, the letter gets pulled into the screen.
- The other birds take part, and finds lots of letters hidden different places just outside the screen.
- The birds starts organising the letters, looking at them from different angles
- The letters get organised into our name.
- One of the birds starts to jump at a leftover circle. It bounces up and down, and suddenly falls into the circle.
- The other birds push this circle into place, somehow says goodbye and fly away

There are tons of other ways to do this, this was an example to show what I'm looking for.

    Dear contest holder, the animation according to your script would probably last for 20-25 seconds. 1-2 minutes is really a lot of time, so much more action is necessary to fit to make the video which is not boring. So I'd like to clarify one thing - is length (1-2 minutes) of video is really mandatory? Or if everything looks good and dynamic in 20-25 seconds, then it's also acceptable? Thanks in advance!
