Premise: Character Silhouettes

I'm still trying to work out the designs for my characters and it seems that the over all shape of them might be what is holding me back abit. To help fix the overall shape of the characters I looked at the animated film The Sceret of Kells (2009) and the way that they designed the characters with a overall shape that carried on throughout the whole of the character.

Following this I created a number of silhouettes for each character (number 1 is the shape that I had been using for them) to try out differents shapes, styles and idea for them. I haven't added in the hair or the crown as of yet as I want to work out the body first before moving on to that part of them. Any feed back is welcomed.

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.
