The previous post thought about the idea and concept of the movie. Now I have to look at things like frame resolution, music track, set design etc.
I have found a suitable music track (Cahill featuring Nikki Bell - Trippin On You) and have edited it to the desired length. I have edited it so that I have an introduction for opening credits and titles, a middle section for the actual movie (this section lasts ten seconds) and then a final part for the end credits. To listen to the edited track, click below:

I have designed my set using a virtual lego designer, which will make it much easier to create the real model. Remembering my idea to include a bar, dj booth, and dancefloor, my model will look (hopefully) similar to the following (click for larger view - requires Quicktime Player):
As you can see, the set design is not complete, there is still quite a bit of work to do, but now both yourself and I have an idea of what the animation set is going to be like. Several features are still missing, such as loudspeakers and lights. This is due to the software I used not having all the bricks I needed within it.
Referring to the Gannt Chart in the previous post, if the project stays to schedule I will begin filming next week. The filming will take place one day and I will hopefully be able to shoot the whole movie in one session because I have taken good care over the planning. Using my storyboard I will be able to shoot scenes quickly and efficiently.
That more or less concludes my planning, although this post may get updated in the next week with any changes that I might make to the film. The next post looks at the production stage of the project, and will give a detailed explanation of different camera techniques and shot types that I will try to demonstrate in the short space of time I have got to present something spectacular.

The frame resolution of the animation is stil undecided. I am going to have to work on a project at 25fps (the PAL standard), which means that using a 12fps rate for the still images might cause problems. For this reason I might end up doing the entire thing in 25fps, which will mean taking 250 stil images for the full ten seconds, but I am going to try do some research into whether I can create the animation in 12fps, and use 25fps for the beginning and end credits. I will update this post when I have come to some decision.
