I have only done rough story boards of a particular clip from the film, but for the moment, I think the next priority is getting my trapeze character designed. I will need a thin acrobatic version and a fat version, so I guess the best thing to to is to create some distinguishing features that can be present in both versions, so that they can be identified as the same character. After that, It will be a matter of storyboarding and so on.
The sort of character change Im thinking of can be shown in this character from Spongebob Squarepants.
This is a silhouettes of many trapeze artist, which may be useful.
