Concept art and characters

 For character design as, as I have said, Libby and I decided that a child would be best for the idea we wanted to go for. We worked with a complimentary pallet of blues, yellows and oranges for both the characters and scenes for this project. We chose this as we felt it would accentuate the change is setting as the girl is transported to the past into a rather hot, dry climate compared to the museum where it is coloured in a cooler way.




Internal concept art;





As for the characters, we also coloured them in this pallet to have them compliment both their respective backgrounds but also each other. We had to saturate the 'cooler' character when we placed her in a different environment but still wanted her to look misplaced - because she was - and so kept her skin and hair still lighter to the other by comparison.


Our characters had rather similar colour pallets as we wanted to imply that our child character was Moroccan or part of this culture and so explains maybe her particular interest in it. as well as her skin colour and hair colour and texture, our characters are dressed in similar pallets though the younger more modern and the woman has traditional Moroccan clothing, facial tattoos and other accessories like her jewellery and head bands relevant to this place, culture and time.

Story board, synopsis

  Audio Project Synopsis – Madison White.                                 – group project with Elizabeth Pemberton  Our young character is magically transported back in time to ancient Morocco when she breaks a terracotta vase from the time, that was being displayed in a museum during a school trip. She becomes distracted when reading about the artefact after straying from her guide group and breaks the relic. When transported to this time, she is gifted a replacement vase by a woman passing as the now precious artefact was then treated as common commodity. Gifted with the replacement vase, our character returns to her original time where she now replaces the aged, broken vase with the vivid one she had just received and runs. Returning to her group before anyone notices.

Concept art project.

 Alongside our audio project we were also tasked with a 2 week task t create a more detailed piece of concept art. I chose to display the outside of the museum from the opening scene of our piece from a different angle. I wanted to keep the same colour pallet as it has purpose to the rest of the piece and is intertwined with the character design as well and so I didn't want to stray too far and kept the style simplistic for the same reasons. In my mood board I explore different styles with different shading techniques and try to imply these where I don't feel I had the opportunity to in the style of our project. I then used a template derived from concept art from the animation to create a two point perspective sketch, followed by a gradient map I used when colouring to assist in determining values of colours against each other. Shading in this piece was more blocky and relevant that in the animation but I feel I was able to experiment more with how I would have wanted the piec...

Kettles yard, object, prompts and moodboards

Image
 For this project we were given both a word prompt and asked to chose an object to inspire our project from our trip to kettles yard. My word prompt was amazement while my partner - Elizabeth Pemberton - had the word of distraction. Using these two prompts we had decided between us early on that our animation would most likely involve an accident caused by a character being distracted by something that amused or interested them - leading us to adapt our story boards to the objects we later chose. We later came to chose the vase and another pot that we found within kettles yard as the pot had not a lot of information around it aside from its place of origin and a rather broad possible era. This allowed both me and my partner for this project to understand how we wanted to press our main and background characters, how to implement the object, and what scene it would likely be found in. With our prompts from both our words, decided upon objects and implication of our initial idea Libb...
