midterm proposal

After days of trying to figure out what to do for my midterm I decided to animate a slinky going down the stairs. I've found some tutorials online that will help me with the design and mechanics of this animation. None of these, however, have fully set a scene. The story board is below.

I apologize for the poor quality. Essentially, the scene will open with girls giggling (finalcut addition) and the slinky will begin to propel down the steps. Once it hits the bottom a "the end" sign will show across the bottom of the slinky. 

I plan on using curves for the banister and bars. For the steps i'll make a carpet and rug out of the nurbs plane and importing designs I've made in photoshop. The slinky will be the hardest part but i'm feeling pretty confident that I can complete this in the time allotted to me. Updates on progress to follow....
