Major: Stage Lighting Tests

I have been trying to work out the lighting for the stage that will be the main location for my animation.

I've been playing around with useing colour lighting to help add another element to my characters. This will hopfully give the idea that they are glowing with light on their side of stage, it will also give the idea that they have some type of power behind them.

I also been trying to work out what the background should look like and how it will help to light the stage. I've added in a test background sot hat I can see how the texture would effect the lighting on the sky dome light.

After feeling that this was abit too dark I added another area light over the stage to brighten it up and it seems to be the closest to what I want to achieve.

    Hi Rhia - not sure if the 'star cloth' effect on the back of the set is what you're going for? My feeling is, that if so, it's not quite right - I think your world is much more 'shape-based' - simple shapes etc - as opposed to anything to painterly or impressionist. Again - think about the sorts of wooden toys/carousels etc you've been looking at for inspiration.

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.
