    My first thought was "how could you have a lighthouse near a cemetery", but then I started wondering what if it isn't an ordinary lighthouse? What if it has some kind of connection to the cemetery, incorporating the two into an interesting story and giving the Lighthouse Keeper a reason for being in the cemetery

    I like where Michael is going with his idea, perhaps this takes place in a small town where the local cemetary has filled and the townsfolk started burying their dead near the lighthouse

    Hey Rhia I am also one of your creative partners :)

    I can't help it but from the combination of cemetary and food blender I'm getting only horror ideas. For example the light house keeper lives alone in light house and his only companion is mouse or some sort of small animal. He also has food blender in his light house and one day while he will be using blender his companion will fall inside and die by misadventure. As it was his only friend for many years, he has to burry him in a decent way so he decide to take him to the cemetary.

    I'm sorry it's probably not the way where you want to go but yeah I like also what is Michael saying. By giving light house keeper unexpected reason to be near the cemetary you can make interesting story even that at the beginning it seems a bit hard to put those words togheter.

Minor: Pre-viz and notes

Image
This is the per-viz for my Minor project that I have been working on over the summer. I set about doing this to get a better idea of now some of the shots would play out and to test out now some of the pops be shown. I am happy with some of the shot, such as the way that the Sun and Moon are introduceed, close ups that I have used for both characters, the way that Moon swings round with the crown along with the way the image fades out on the Sun at the end. I'm not too happy with some of the shots that have the characters moving around but this might be because I was focused on the walk cycle and I might not need it in my finished animation. I also think that the shot of the sun and moon spining round might have been done abit better.

@Alan Collaboration: Walk Test

Walk Cycle test from Rhia Crouch on Vimeo . Been trying to work on Moom's walk for a skit but I'm not sure what else to do before I put him in to the screen so I can work out him swimming and coming out of the water. He is meant to walk as if he is weigh down by the goo and also wobbels a little bit. I know the eyes are off and there seems to be a phantom animation going on with his right hand that I can't work out.

Premise: Feedback Ideas

After presenting my ideas for my animation I was given the idea of making the characters of the Sun and Moon look like paper lanterns. This idea would fit in with giving the story a sense of history and culture along with helping me to think about the overall designs of the characters.
