I watch the Watchmen

For the past week and a half, I've been using flash to make a poorly drawn cartoon. After four days of trying to make something look awesome based off of my original concept, I've decided to abandon that entirely. My new project revolves around the pivotal scene in Watchmen, in which the Comedian's smiley button falls several stories. It is a very prominent scene, and I wanted to try my hand at it.

My version will be very cartoony, since that's kind of what I do. It's a fairly simple animation, and I'm not sure what I can add aside from the obvious blood drips, and falling schematic. Most of my efforts in class will revolve around making the background fairly detailed, so that it can at least have a nice visual aesthetic to it. I also intend to add some sound to it, so that the whole thing isn't horribly boring to those who don't know where it came from.
