Investigation DiscoveryUnusual Suspects04.29.10Concept 1: Saul BadassOverview

The genius o Saul Bass was that he could distill the essence o a story down to a single image i he wanted to. To in his honor, we create asimilar creative style that symbolizes and summarizes everything that viewers will come to expect rom an episode o ‘Unusual Suspects,’ rom itsmultiple twists and turns, to its shocking conclusion.

Execution

In these style rames, which will use a combination o 2D and 3D animation, we set the mood and the prime underlying core o the lm’s story,to express the story in a metaphorical way. To create two distinct packages, we could either tell two unique stories, or the same story rom twodierent viewpoints, in the same visual manner.

Sample Storyline

We open to the perect couple, with perect house, with the perect white picket ence, two kids, and a dog.. Then ATTACK!! KILL! The bloodyknie is wielded, then we cut to the husband telling the police his side o the story. The detective scribbles notes. We see wanted posters. Andthen a pair o handcus, as the police have ound the bloody knie, and caught their man. The knie’s bloody trail transitions to the lineup, wherethe husband points and selects the murderer out o the lineup. Only wait a minute…there’s blood on the husband’s sleeve. THE HUSBAND’STHE KILLER!
