Minor: Character Base Shape

After looking at the mock up designs for my characters that I have put together, I have started to build up the final designs from the base shapes onwares so that I can get it set in stone before moving on.

The reason that I am doing this is because I have had some trouble getting the overall shape of them right and this has lead to me having to going over the whole design just to fix it. So I have decided take it step by step and catch the problems from the start.

Most of the shapes that I have used for the characters I am happy with but there are parts that I needed to work out more, such as the arms and the Sun's waist, but I think that I have gotten them to a point now where I am happy with how they look. If not then it's a good start. I have left out the hands for the time being as I feel that part is going to be abit harder for me to do.

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.
