For the main characters within our film, the character designs we are going for are designed by A. Tinsley. I really like how the fish monster’s design looks as it has similar shapes to my axolotl design and would be easy for me to animate. The added hair can help with it expressing it’s emotionsContinue reading week 9: Storyboard and Animatic Process

For this week, we had to animate a flour sack jumping and doing other activities to teach us the keyframe technique where we draw the keyframes of the movement first and then add the in-betweens after. sketch coloured I didn’t find this activity too hard as I only struggled getting the timing right from theContinue reading week 8: Flour sack animations (class and homework)

My designs all have similar body shapes as I feel like the character will be easier to animate swimming if they’re thin and nimble. For these designs, I was experimenting with different colour palettes which I took from images of fishContinue reading week 5 character hw

Colour to tonal studies As I only joined the fish group, I didn’t create any monochromatic images for it, so I’m instead using a Mickey Mouse one. For this piece, I used dark blues and greens for the mountains and made the lighting very dark to add to the dark and creepy atmosphere of thisContinue reading week 4: colour hw

For class, we had to make five colour palettes that would fit within our world. I used Adobe colour to create mine. Cool greens that go well with the water for the fish people. Cold and positive atmosphere. This one can be a for a fish person on a beach. The purples stand out againstContinue reading Week 4 class activities

In class, we did a few light exercises of objects and scenes thatContinue reading week 3: Light exercise
