Faye's Project Diary

An update!

Its been a while hasn't it, but I have been a busy bee, I just got behind on the updating of this blog...but here I am so this is what I have to say for myself. I have been busy storyboarding, writing documents, researching and tring to decide on the final features of my characters so I can do their final character sheets, but at the moment I am, unfortuately, being a little indecisive. Although in saying that I found some inspiration when watching Ice age 3. I paused the movie and went forward and back over a few seconds of a character that caught my eye, and went straight into work mode taking screenshots and sketching again.

I really like the deisgn of this character and is on similar lines with what I had envisioned for my final kingfisher type bird, minus the long legs. So I will be back at doing the final charaters with this new image in mind. So while I was having this concept art block I did my storyboards, it took a while, and some are still not in colour but the basic drawing of it is done, I still need to write the notes at the side, but the bulk is there.

basic concept sketches

These two are the primary characters.

kingfisher above was me trying with a small head and larger body, but i think i prefer the big head which accentuates the loud mouth nature of the bird and makes it more cartoon like and cute.

A snippet of script

FADE IN

A soft white fills the screen

EXT. CLOUDS -- AFTERNOON

Clouds slowly form from the white void. The camera tumbles through white fluffy clouds, leisurely at first, then rushing down swooping and diving from side to side.

As the clouds thin a bright blue kingfisher flutters into view, above a sea of golden treetops. The camera follows the path of the kingfisher's flight over the canopy.

The kingfisher swoops down breaking through the leaves, diving and tumbling this way and that. He lands clumsily to the ground does a few forward tumbles, pauses for a second then gets to his feet. He hops about and ruffles his feathers untroubled by his mishap.

This is the beginning, it continues on but that is a idea of what I have so far 0 comments

Viva pinata

I love the designs of the characters in the Viva Pinata games.

The animals are very stylized, obviously to look like party pinatas, but I also love they way they are animated in their introduction movies.
