Premise: First Ideas and Feedback


These are my first ideas for my premise project:

Mythos styled story about the reason we have stars

The basic idea of this is that it will tell the story of how and why the Sun created the stars for the Moon. The main idea that I have for this is that the Sun notices that the Moon is lonely as none is around at night to see then, so the Sun decides to do something about it so that people down on Earth would stay around at night.

My own Urban legend tale

Based around what I think is a church that is in a local graveyard near where I live. I don’t think I even seen it be used and the size of the outside doesn’t seem to fit with it being big enough to hold that many people in it.

The Evil Princess

This idea comes from a through I had about Evil Queens in fairy tales: If they are a Queen now then they must have been a Princess at some point. So, with this idea it’s designed to be more of a backstory for the character.

Feedback:
Out of all my ideas the mythos story about the stars and the evil Princess ideas seemed to get the most attention. But there are some points that still need cleaning up such as:

  • What way am I going to tell the mythos story. 
  • The main plot that will be used of the evil Princess idea. 

It seems to be able to get the most out of this project I need to find away that will let me used a set of simple rules so that I’m not overwhelmed with the work.

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.
