Designing for the final project!

Been designing for the last 2/3 weeks! Im loving designing animals, I find them so much more fun because you can mess about and exaggerate on their proportions! I decided to use the lion, rhino, elephant, giraffe, pig, bat and man characters. It is quite a lot so when it comes to developing i might choose 5 to further them. Here is what I have so far. Some characters, in situs, background, etc. Quite happy with some of the ones I have so far but a lot still to develop.

Research...black leather gloves!

I'm currently designing different characters and have nothing to post so here's some research on the animals I plan on using.








I chose to use a blackboard background because my character is a zoology teacher. For the designs I think I'll change it to a whiteboard.

Pre Production take two!

Helloooo! It has finally arrived! My final project for third year! I say final, I do have two other small projects in the next few months but this is the big one! It is very similar to what I had to in the first pre-production but this time I really have to push myself!!! After a few ideas and developing some stories I could possibly do I think i finally have one Im excited to do. In a nut shell (still need to develop a bit) it is about...

....a man’s day to day life. He works as a zoologist teacher in a University, and everything is pretty normal…Well except the fact that he uncontrollably turns in to random animals. The short film will show his daily routine, from getting up and changed in the morning to him teaching. He finally hits rock bottom when he turns to up a date as and turns in to a pig and the woman runs off. He then goes home and tries to shoot himself but there is just one problem, he has trotters.

The rough idea I had about how the story could go is following 7 days of his week so it would start day 1 (sunday), blah blah blah. We'll see him as a human then how being an animal is such a pain.

Day 1, Sunday night: Man puts a note on the fridge, Date with Wendy saturday! Man goes to sleep just fine.
Day 2 : Wakes up hanging on the roof as a bat, not too bad.
Day 3 : Wakes up normal, puts his work clothes on, turns in to a rhino, rips all his clothes. bit worse
Day 4: Driving in to work then turns into a giraffe, neck out the window, car is ruined. worse again!
Day 5: He has to take the tube but he's an elephant with only a small space left on the tube.
Day 6: He's teaching his class, then turns into a lion, ends up eating his student. Much worse!
Day 7: Things are finally looking up as he has a date, half way through the date he turns into a pig, girl goes off running!...Hits rock bottom, goes home, finds a gun and tries to shoot himself but cant pick it up. The End.

CV and business card

Over christmas I've been busy eating and drinking so that's why I haven't updated my blog for a couple of weeks! I've also been doing my dissertation! I had a project to create a CV and business card so heres what I have so far! I had an idea of doing my CV in a form of a pamphlet.



and the idea for my business card is to show the stages of how I create a character, from initial design to final one.
