Animationtake1

The group were asked to come up with ideas for the style of animation in which their fantasy world would be created. This creates an 'image board' which an illustrator can refer to when designing characters and styles. A selection of the group's ideas are below:

Alice's image board

Stories can then be sequenced in images with brief notes in a storyboard. A couple of examples of the group's storyboards below

Take 1 TV Reporter: Willis

Today's session proved a challenge to all involved. Today we were urged to finalise our individual characters and their involvement within the short film. Although the actual storyline is undecided we felt as a group that in order to do so our characters would need developing beforehand so that we could structure the film around them effectively.

The Take 1 group work with animators from SiLee Films

As a group we discussed each individual character, aiding one another in developing certain aspects which proved difficult to determine i.e. appearance. We then moved on to researching the appearance of our characters. We accessed the internet to find images of objects and existing characters which relate to our ideas in a way. With the help of our animators we discussed the achievability of our ideas using our gathered images and by watching short animated clips to give us some guided inspiration _______________________________________________________________
