MikeL's Animations, Arts and Randoms

Cluster Seminar  Love vs Hate ! http://youtu.be/MWiU-eFbMGs Design Symposium 1 Spiral of Materials   Prototype of my giant paper origami rose. Symposium 2 Reign Over Dystopia - The Echelon System !!!!! Our Tumblr !!!!!     Photographs Just some photographs & some researches.

The decided story line.   The animation will be about the adventure of John Potter which he searches for treasures, and there are two options following that.  1) He goes on an Odyssey like action meeting different mystical creatures and finds the treasures (stuffs displayed in the box).  2) He goes on an adventure but wasn't able to find any treasure, however at the end he realized the diary he wrote on every was the treasure. I decided on going with the 1st option. Here are some character designs I did. As well as a breif plan that I did. Then I moved on to story board. And some background researches

Fantasy   I am planning to base the animation on the wild adventure of John Angus Potter which was hidden away in his diary.   Due to the fact that he worked on a ship, it would naturally be based on the sea. So I decided to do some character design.   These are some researches I have done on interesting looking life in the ocean that i think have potential to be turned into a animation character. And these were some of the results.

The Decision and further research. I decided to choose to do an animation on the display box of John Angus Potter. This is because it shows a lot of potential and freedom to imagine and animate on, especially the diary which could lead to some unexpected journeys that we didn't know. I also got in touch with the lady in charge of the John Angus Potter display. diana.morton@edinburgh.gov.uk 01315296365 I contacted the lady in charge of this unit, I was able to get some detailed information about John Angus Potter and this display unit. A picture of John Angus Potter himself.
