Week Four – Colour & Character Design
For this weeks class we focused on colour and how colour creates a setting for the scene.
Our group decided that we wanted our animation to keep a cold mysterious vibe throughout so we focused on green/teal shades and purples for our scenes.
I then used one of my thumbnail background designs to apply these colours and see if it gave the required “feel” within the scene. I felt like the blues and purples worked very well for this scene as its a derelict underground train station so my scene was very dark but light was being emitted from a distant passageway and the light shining from the robot characters screen face.
For homework we were assigned to start looking at designing characters for our world. Our groups characters were based off a world with tv head characters.
I also focused on another scene as at this stage our group hadn’t fully nailed the storyline to our world. This scene I created was a human character consumed by a void of Tv screens. I used the colour palette we had agreed on and I feel like it worked very well with this setting. The colours create a very sad and depressed feel to the scene and thats the kind of atmosphere I wanted it to portray.
