Once we finished our first assignment, eventually we were taken right into the second assignment. Individually we had to create an animated sequence of our choice with two characters interacting with each other. It was a difficult decision to choose audio for especially the theme I would go for, instead of the physical actions, I wanted to go for something more emotional between both characters and practise more on lip syncing so I may improve myself this semester. I thought of scenes which were emotionally and came across Steven Universe where one scene was sentimental and other was a major mental breakdown for one character. I wanted to understand body language and posture when it comes to sadness and depression for the following sequence between these videos down below.
After reviewing both scenes I pitched my ideas and brainstormed on doing both to see what direction I would be taking and which scene fitted more. So I did both animatics this week and looked online about backgrounds and environments for the atmosphere about the setting. For one scene involved on a bench out in the open and the other indoors in a closed space room. I didn’t want to add any character details or work to much on appearance as I was only experimenting the movements first and foremost.
