The "What" Project

The Group I am working with are Sian Ross, Darrien Gibson, Nigel Kitts, Alan Matthewman, and Alberto Montana. In our production of coming up with ideas for the short animation we found it all very difficult to come up with one idea as we all had so many ideas. We all managed to finally agree on an idea called "The Old Man Fight".








Alberto took down some ideas, mind mapping thought through all the different aspects such as the storyline, why and how "what" was going to be used in the animation, types of characters, locations, interactions between characters, and if the audience would get the animation.


My jobs are:
Character Design

Sound Design

Music
Rough Mix
Final Mix

For these past few weeks I have been concentrating very hard on getting the characters designed. I drew up a few rough sketches of old people, men and women. Alberto who is director, took a look at what i had done and chose which ones he thought would be affective and work in the animation. He asked for a few changed with the characters, such as for the old lady, there were two types of old ladies that i drew and he wanted to combined the two, same for the old man that i drew he also wanted two drawings that i did to be combined.

More earlier work will be put up soon, they didn't show up very well, so will ink them so they can be seen.

Here are the final drawings i did for the character design.


The Old Man.

There will be two minor changes to the character, the facial hair and also the face will be a little bit more rounded.

The Old Lady

The Leader of the gang that tries to rob the old lady.





More drawings of the gang. The guy in the hoodie will be 2x because the concentration will be more on the leader.

Sian is doing the dog whos in the story. I'll be working on the colours of the characters. Also be working on the sound too. Myself and the group managed to do some rough voice recording for the animate that Nigel had made.

This week I'll be getting the music and sound effects and alsothe colouring for the charaters which me and Sian will be working on.
