While I've been working on the story and various other things ive been trying to get ahead in other areas and thinking about the design of the room/what props would be needed and started to work on these as well as learning various ways to model things in maya.

The initial idea for the story is a boy who wants to be an astronaut and builds himself a spaceship out of cardboard boxes etc and when he puts on his helmet andn pulls the visor down the view changes to show his imaginary world and where he thinks he is....

In this "visor view" all of his drawings and creations come to life - the cartoon aliens he's pinned on his wall crawl down and animate as 2d crayon squiggles or morph into cg characters (tbd), part way he spins round and sees an alien he doesnt recognise, frantically flicking between the real world and his imaginary one (by lifting the visor up and down) he sees a real alien has arrived in his room....
