Choosing an object.

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.

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.

4th Year Final Animation Characters After discussing with my tutors, I have decided to go with an overall limited colour palette of old paper unless the characters are under certain lighting. This is achieved by having a base layer, then a layer of 3 colour range is added. Which is then set as overlay in post production. Production After the rigging of the characters I am ready to being production. I ahve already prepared most of the parts needed.

This is solved by applying a ramp shader with 2 colour on a ocean layer after converting it into polygons. As you can soo the ocean are too off with the style I am looking for. After applying the ramp shader it fits much better. Music I have been working with Ollie Yang on the soundtrack of my film. Password: rootandcur...

4th Year Project

For my final year's film I have decided to make a film based on China's culture. To prepare for this I went and visited the oldest city in the whole of China, the Phoenix Old Town in Hunan. While I was there I watched a play call 邊城, it was a musical play that depicts the life of two lovers in the Phoenix Old Town. It shows the struggle of what the lovers wanted and the conflict of responsibility. When I was watching the play the character's design (clothing), enviornment and atmosphere very much inspired me, so I decided to create a version of own with reference to the play.
