For our project we had to come up with a plot for our idea. We initially struggled with coming up with plot points as we didn’t think we would be able to fit all our ideas into 30 seconds. However after a bit of discussion we eventually came up with the idea of our characters trying (and failing) to escape from a rolling pin in a bakery. We also picked a type of pastry that we could use to create our characters, these characters are:
- Cake: Joyce
- Cupcake: Ingrid
- Rolling Pin: Zoe
- Doughnut: Eve
- Croissant: Me
Once we discussed the plot and characters we started working on individual storyboards.
With our storyboards completed we organised a voice call over Discord to finalize how we wanted the plot to progress, taking different parts from different storyboards and stitching them together.
During this meeting we also discussed the aesthetic we wanted our characters and backgrounds to fit into, looking at different 3D artists to gain inspiration. In the end we’ve decided to go for a low poly look and follow a warmer colour palette for the characters and lighting.
With this decided we then moved onto character design. I experimented with different shapes and eyes types. For my third design I noticed in our Pinterest board there was a few pastries in the shape of animals so I thought it would be fun to incorporate that within my designs, eventually coming up with some sort of owl design.
