Initial Concepts

I’ve got a few strong ideas forming and hopefully depending on time and my technical ability I will be able to combine them together. at the beginning of my animation I want to recreate the big bang, I will have to research into the event further but even then the bang is somewhat speculation, this could allow me to use some artistic licence but without straying from the facts, the use of sound and colour will prove interesting. I haven’t thought of any transitions for my animation yet but the next scene i want to show will be of the comets surface as if the camera had being placed there, the icy/dirt landscape would be very effective and also the jets of gas which shoot from the core.

From this point i will zoom out and focus the comet as a whole showing its external structure and coma (tail), when a comet gets closer to the sun its tail begins to glow because of the reaction to the gasses, I want to show this process. I thought my final shot could be from earth, looking into the sky and seeing the comet shoot across.
I have also considered using the famous Halley's Comet; this might make the project more solid instead of just creating an animation about random comets. Again I will research into Halley's Comet before for the facts. Perhaps instead of the big bang approach (although I think I would be a nice strong introduction to delve into space) the right way to go is to show how comets are formed from the matter from the solar nebular. All these ideas can be combined but it requires time to find the correct structure.
