Narrative - 2 Characters and a Setting.

2 Characters and a Setting

For this project we have to create an animation based on 2 character and a setting that they are placed in.
My choice is the Goby Shrimp

Goby Shrimp is a pair of Pistol Shrimp and Goby fish.
As the goby uses the shrimp's burrow for protection from predators, it also acts as "eyes" for the pistol shrimp. During the day, the goby hovers above the burrow, feeding and interacting with other gobies. Meanwhile, the shrimp uses its antennae to stay in constant contact with the goby's tail while searching for food (detritus, tiny crustaceans and worms) and maintaining the burrow opening. If a predatory fish approaches, the goby flicks its tail several times, alerting the shrimp to retreat into the burrow. If the predator comes within striking distance, the goby will dart headfirst into the burrow. During the night, the two simply rest together in the burrow.

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. The boat and paddle When setting up a scene, I extract the different components of my drawing and add depth to it in Maya Once of the main concern was the water aspect of the film. 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. The City The Play
