Earlier today me, Dan and Alec (Simon wasn't able to make the meeting) spoke with Jared and through the talks of ideas and what we plan to achieve we came up with a new idea for a narrative...We spoke of an idea of a man in the crows nest of the big ship sitting at sea with a telescope. Through him we could show a second-person persecptive of our character walking through the environment as well as a first person perspective of the character within and interacting with the environment.
Through changing between the perspectives we could achieve both an inside view of the environment as well as a wide range view from the man in the crows nest. Also this would mean that certain parts of the animated character could be made less tedious as the character won't always be viewed from close up but rather from a distance and sometimes maybe not even at all for a few seconds. Here below shows an uncompleted version of our environment and the potential view of the man in the crows nest to see everything on our currently agreed route for the character...
