Title Credits: Rush Image Tests

After I had worked out the different stages of the opening for the film Rush I sat about creating some images for the different points and to also try out the style that I hope to use for the animation, similar to using a storybroad.

Image 1
Image 1 - The arrows are meant to be James Hunt and Niki Lauda when they are racing each other in their early years when their rivalry started.
Image 2
Image 2 - This is one of two images that is meant to shown to Hunt winning against Lauda.
Image 3
Image 3 - This is the second image of the two and shows Lauda winning against Hunt.
Image 4
Image 4 - The next image shows the logos, at the time of the 1970s, of the two teams that Hunt and Lauda raced for in F1. On the left is the logo for McLaren which was the team Hunt raced for and on the right is the logo for Ferrari which was the team that Lauda raced for.
Image 5
Image 5 - This image is meant to be the rain before the 1976 German Grand Prix.
Image 6
Image 6 - Another image of Hunt and Lauda racing each other.
Image 7
Image 7 - For this image I wanted to show Lauda's crash. For this I used a loop to show that he has crashed and spun around before his car burst into flames. Here, however, I have made the arrow brake into a number of pieces.
Image 8
Image 8 - The part will show Hunt's arrow (on the top) racing along as normal with Lauda's arrow (on the bottom) moving along slower before picking up speed after Hunt's arrow has left the screen. This is meant to show Lauda winning in F1 while Lauda recovers from the crash. Lauda's arrow is still broken but the pieces have been put back together.
Image 9
Image 9 - The last shot will show the two arrows on the start line again as Lauda has come back to racing in F1 after his crash.

While I was making theses I started to think about the colours that I would be useing for the titles. I picked and red and white as theses were the colours of the cars that Hunt and Lauda were driving at the time. I also picked out some of the colours in the film so that it fitted in with the colours that appeared at that time period.

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

Image
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.
