Character Designs #2

Weekly update #5

A bit late weekly update, but Hiromi is back from Japan so we can speed up the progress again. Last week Egbert has reviewed our moving storyboard and gave us some feedback. Hiromi and I discussed the storyboard and decided to make a new and improved version of it.

Hiromi will be doing the storyboarding and I will focus now on the Character Designs. There are already some designs finished which will be uploaded soon.

Also I have started to begin writing the introduction of the supportive narrative. I hope to finish that this month.

Next week we have a meeting with Egbert and we will show our new ideas about the trailer and show our new planning, the Character Designing is finished.  I have a meeting with Tarak to show progress with the paper and project, for that I need a finished storyboard and the first chapter finished of my supportive narrative.

Weekly update #4

The past week we finished the moving storyboard. It’s now up to Jelle to design some music and sounds. We didn’t make the deadline ‘a paint a day’. This because the moving storyboard had priority first. One paint is finished and one character design. We hope to make up for it next week.

Jolanda has started writing her supportive narrative, she aims to finish the first chapter (Introduction) next week and collects more resources for writing the paper. 

Next week we aim to create more paints and character designs, and hopefully Jelle will be finished with the first version of the moving storyboard.

Weekly update #3

There is more progress in the project, but there is still much work to be done.

Over the past week we have made the first version of the storyboard. After some feedback from 4th year animation it appears that some things could be improved. We should try to create a connection between the present and the flashforewords. Also, try different angles in some shots.

last Monday, we have agreed to make everyday a paint (except Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Style and how it gets worked out is completely open. In total we have 13 paints. In these paints, we will try to evoke an emotion and we analyzes how other artists bring  mood and evoke a emotion in their art.

Jolanda has also started reading the book Film Art and Understanding Animation. To understand how image evokes an emotion. in Understanding Animation for example there is a chapter: 25 ways to start laughing. something that we could use in our story.
 

Next week we hope to have more visuals of environments and characters, 4 paints, some observations of illustrations of artist, and Reviewing version of the storyboard. and hopefully a moving storyboard.
