Collaboration: Character Ideas

For our animation we had to think about what type of character would be fit in with the "When not to swim" scenarios we were coming up with as this would help design the world's art style. It would also help us when we are starting to animated the character as would have a ruff idea of how that type of character would move.

My Character Ideas:

Victorian Explorer - Everwhere he goes he thinks that he is still in Africa.

Victorian Strong Man - Classic big upper body with fur pants.

Idiot Teenager - The type that copies things off of Youtube or Jackass because it looked cool, even if the video said not to.

Mr Bean like character - Stupidity just follows them around.

Average Joe - Just an everyday man who is just the victim of the scenario.

    My money is on the Victorian Explorer. He would be fun and make for great comedy because of his stiff upper lip Britishness and outright determination.

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.
