Character Design Research

 

Character Design Research

After the first character design session I researched other interpretations of cartoon sharks as well as UPA characters to better understand how they look and what my character could look like.



The main take away of this early research is how little the character design for the shark is in the grand scheme of achieving the look of a UPA animation. The important parts are Colour ,Layout and the economy of space in the scene. Focusing on achieving dramatic almost surrealist images with the characters being a focal point of these minimalist designs.

After speaking with Justin we have decided that understanding the layout of the scene is more important then the design of the character themselves. The main reason being the designs are build to be economical and will develop more as I gain a better understanding of what I need them to be doing in my scene.

The Title along with the design of the set shows this to be astronauts on mars and sets up the location for most of the movie going forward. Inciting Incident This would be where the rest of the astronauts leave our main character Mark Watney on mars after presuming him dead in a storm. He instead doesn't die and manages to make it to the relative safety of the space habitat where he stops himself from bleeding to death. Before the audience is told about marks plans on how to stay alive fighting the main problem he faces in the whole ...

Minor: Song Lyrics

  Minor: Song Lyrics Planet 3 Lyrics:   This will be the song that plays at the start and the end of the animation it will set the mood for the animation and start the  audience's  perception of the retro Sci-Fi  styling.   Key words I would like the song to reflect   Space, gravity, Rocket, Planet, Port, Station, Stars,  Milkyway , Launch Bay, Shuttle   The Idea as it is now is to have the song fit a big band brass genre of music as  such,  I will be looking for help to produce the song in the future.     When you're sitting there with a frown   you feel  like  gravit ies  pulling you down.   You know the place you’d rather be.   Oh, Meet me on planet three.     Come  hear  for easy  drinkin   Now the universe is  a  shrinkin .   The favourite space port in the sky   Will make you want to  flight  so high.     At the end of...
