Premise: World Ideas

After steping back and looking at the over all progress of my project it was pointed out to me that I hadn't spent that muct time on thinking about what the over all world look like. This means the parts in the poem when screens about the Sun and the Moon are being explaned or they themselves are talking about something else.

In my head I had an idea of the way that I wanted to show it but I had yet to get the early ideas down on paper as the characters where taking up a lot of time. The main idea that I had was to have the screens appear and move in a way that was similar to a Victorian paper theatre. However, after sometime I started to think that the viewer might not be able to pick out the different parts that I wanted them to see moving as they would blend in to the background. To get round this problem I decided to put a white outline round the parts that I wanted to show are moving, to make it look like cut out pieces of paper, which is similar to the art style used in the 2013 survival game Don't Stave cinimatics.


To get an idea of what this would look like I did some test images based on some of the lines from the poem. Any feed back is welcomed.

"...And how farmers should worship him most..."
"...The Queen said, 'I comfort the sleepless. I am a beacon for travellers lost'..."

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.
