For this module, we have to group up as 5 to create a small 30 second 3D animation based around the theme ‘Escape.’ So far my group consists of : Jessica, Eve, Zoe, Ingrid and myself, below is what we had scribbled down on the board around the idea. Since not many of the markers worked in this room, there’s not really a way to say who wrote what down.
I had suggested chess pieces where the king of one side would be trapped in a cage with different chess pieces of the opposing side guarding it and it’s trying to escape from them, freshly bought plants placed in a room full of dehydrated ones and is trying to leave the room to get outside and lastly vegetables trying to escape a kitchen from becoming soup. In the end we all decided on 3 ideas we liked from the board near the bottom left.
After thinking about the design for each, we decided to go with the pastry escaping a bakery to prevent from being ate by customers. Just to get some rough designs down for this, we created a Pinterest board to gather images. We haven’t really found any artist to study their work and process just yet, I believe we’re just trying to find an aesthetic which from this board. You can tell it’s leaning more to the cutesy side with pastel and warm colours.
Zoe had also kindly made up a server so we can gather ideas and share them down easily. So far I’m looking forward to getting our character design and story board completed, I’m not sure about animating since I’m still new to the medium and that I did struggle a lot in my 3D Digital Literacy.
