Premise: Design Rethinks

Moon's design improvements ideas
After getting feed back on my designs I found that there is still alot of work to be done on the Sun and Moon before I can settle on one design. This involves changing and rethinking a number of different elements in the designs.

Heads -That one might give me a bit of troubleas when I am trying to use different shapes to create the heads I some how end up with the same shaped head at the end of the drawing. One way that I might be able to get round this is to look different styles of masks and see how they use the shape of the head.

Crowns - As the crowns play an improvement role in the story I can see why they might need to be redesigned so that they are more noticeable to the viewer. I'm not to sure how I would do it for the Sun but for the Moon I do have the idea that a veil can be added to it.

Tails - At frist I didn't want to go too over broad with the tail idea as I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to use it but it seems that people are liking the idea. It does need dressed up a bit with the ideas being that they minic something like a comet or sun beam, there is also the idea that it doesn't have to be a tail but a long out that ends up covers the feet (which was an idea when I started to think about the character would dress).

Hands - This is going to be the hardest part to work on for me as hands are one of, if not my main, problem points as no matter how much I try I can never seem to get them right. I was useing the artist puppet hand as I didn't have to worry about it too much along with it fitting in with willow lantern idea as the fingers could be define by the lines of the willow going though the design.

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.
