We prepared our presentations for this week where Abdul and I went ahead with the Morrigan and presented her to our classmates and other students from China on live stream. It went really well as each pair presented our Irish mythologies and put a lot research into each one with motivation and interest. After we had shared our presentations the other students went and shared 4 stories which included The 9 Tail Reindeer, The White Snake, The Red Mansion and Jingwei Filling the Sea.
After the talk and reviewing each one, we (individually) had to pick one of the stories which would become our main project and pick 2 or 3 techniques to follow through with the project. I decided in the story of the white snake, which I came familiar with growing up and watched the Light Chaser Animation Studios with it’s exquisite character designs, special effects and storytelling that caught mine and so many eyes of audiences intentional. I thought about going beyond the techniques that we would be choosing whether it was something I’m good at or something that needed more work done. So I took it upon myself to lower my choices between Character Design, 3D Modelling and Grease Pencil/Look Development before starting the new project.
