Carrying on with the idea of using an old classic song we decided on playing around with The Temptations song 'My Girl'
Ideally we're aiming for a catchy song that will get stuck in peoples heads and remind them of the animation and My Girl's definitely been doing it for us. We experimented with the cheese-oriented lyrics again while keeping the time and pace of the song intact.
This is the first of our experiments that would involve 5 characters to cover all of the roles, which is rather exciting and has lead us all to go wild with ideas.
Keeping it focused however, we've got the Lead singer, the bass notes, the lead guitar notes and two backing-singers (one higher, one lower) We've looked at designs for short and fat then tall and thinner characters which could be used in some kind of clever, ironic way for the sake of visual humour but that's something Cathryn will be touching more on in her posts on character design.

We're planning on showing all the videos to everyone in our seminar tomorrow and get each person to vote for their favourite song, maybe even delve into a cheeky bit of target audience research and ask them to give a reason why they liked it.
So once again the original lyrics for the song segment we've chosen are:
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
The beautifully improved version becomes:
Mozzarella,
Parmesan too
Gorgonzola,
Edam and Buxton blue
Stilton,
derby
Camembert
and British
Brie
Cheddar
(cheddar, cheddar)
Red
Leicester Cheddar
goat’s cheese
Blue
Of course, following the lyrics is the conducted piece, enjoy.
