For my
final animation project I will be dealing with photo shop, after effects for
transition effects and other animation effects and final. I intend to either
have a live action background with animated characters or an animated
background with a live action character in it. Not exactly sure, but I was
leaning towards filming live action of a person sitting on the couch for the
first few seconds then have animated characters start appearing in frame and
layer static cartoon objects like a poster, table, or chair into the shot. My
premise is someone sitting on the coach and he or she takes a hit off a joint
and begins seeing cartoons appearing. An animated world forms around the person. Then at the end comes back to reality. Most of the video would be animated. I
plan on rotoscoping my main character and adding a few rotoscoped creatures and
maybe use the puppet tool for other characters.

You need more of a story or conceptual framework than this. There is this easy connection between psychedelia and animation (which one of your groupmates is also exploiting) but you need to go beyond just that connection. "I smoked some weed and things went crazy" doesn't cut it ~ even for a one-minute film. Are there any revelations your main character has, while in this alternate state? Do any of the cartoon creatures interact with your main character, other than just operating as visual candy? This idea needs to be fleshed out more and remember that at least a minute of your film needs to be full animation.
