Premise: Fine Tuning Ideas

After talking with Alan it seems that I have the ideas for my Sun and Moon animation, its just now that I have to start putting everything together as there are so many points that need looking at. The main thing that I need to think about is the way that I am going to tell the story, the main idea that I've had for this is doing it in the style of a poem and to help me get my head around how I'm going to write it so that it will tell the story I will be looking at the poems written by Spike Milligan.



I will also like at the Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling as these stories are similar to the style of story that I'm telling with my animation, they explain things like how the Camel got it's hump and how the Leopard got it's spots. This might mean that I have to write out the poem a number of times to get it right so that it protrays to themes and mood that I'm trying to get across.

Also, this is not the first time that the Sun and Moon have been used in an animation. The PIXAR short Day and Night can help to make me think about the way that the Sun and Moon can interact with one another.

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.
