after thinking about the 3 fables that i narrowed down to. i have made a decision on which i will do..

the cock and the pearl is a very simple story with a simple moral. it would be quite easy to animate so i could put more time into the modelling. but it would be difficult to demonstrate many advanced skills, as the scene is quite basic.

secondly the "the mountains in labour" fable is also basic but i think would involve a conciderable amount of modelling and not alot of more complex animation. as alot of the effects would be camera movement.

i think that the Hercules and the waggoner fable is the best balance between all the different techniques: modeling, animation, camera and the reactor.
