From Script To Screen - Art Style Influence Map

As my story takes place close to the sea I decided that my art style should to reflect that. This in my mind could mostly come form useing watercolour style textures, I also had the idea that the outlines could be similar to lossely drawn ink paintings.

I had the idea that blues, greens and grays would been the main colour scheme for my story, the idea for this came from the colours that we normally think of when it comes to the sea and wild storms. It would also help to show the cold and sadder parts of the animation, I would also off set this with a sepia like tone to help show the warmer parts of the story.

For the style of clothing that the characters would ware I thought that the nautical theme should stay with them of obvious reasons. To make it clear that the story take place close to the sea and that some of the characters work in this environment I've chosen to use the classic fisherman's outfit of thick woollen fabrics. The clearest example of this design is fisherman from the Victorian era.

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.
