A lot has changed on my project. It is still the drug PSA skit but it has been modified and rearranged a good deal to simplify everything. Thanks to my thesis committee the project feels more manageable, it's still a lot and I am certainly going to lose some of my social life but it is plausible now. The original work had me using two different characters interacting with each other as they work out.
This is fine and dandy but that is a LOT of animating. So I cut out the big character from the story. I still plan to use him for a specific gag but overall he's out. As you can see above I originally had two physical gags with exercising, one on the treadmill and one at the bench press. It's always good to work in threes.
On top of everything else I found a wonderful asset pack that had most of the gym equipment I was searching for. The only major object missing was the seated row, which I have modeled. All of the assets can be seen below, right side are the objects I plan to use and left was everything else from the pack.
Lastly, I have made a quick animatic to show the videos pacing and length. Of course there are still many things to adjust and tweak but this is the main idea I am going for.
