i wasnt too keep with the whole cogs idea at the beginning because i thought it was a bit random to the sequence and rest of story so i will skip that bit and get straight to the next stage of the story..
 also as the ending of a random apple appearing in the sky..
So i drew out some sketches of my windmill and tested out some colour palettes and styles and use corrugated card for raised characters but that will truly progress when i 'make' them to see where it leads me..

As i have found it difficult to use after effects i am going to use cell motion.. to make it a bit easier i am going to do my production in scene by scene.

Here are some sketches through my understanding of development and props i am going to use to make my clip
