Collaboration: Art Direction and 3D

This one was made by Polly earlier on in the project.

Collaboration: Avatar Skit Ideas

After talking with Alan we have realised that our ideas were adding onto the existing films to create the jokes, so after some re-planning, we are coming up with bloopers/tropes that are more based on that film as not to pull away from the project brief, we will be taking inspiration from videos such as CinemaSins found on You-Tube.

Collaboration: Titanic Character Research Sheets

From Polly's research on comedy, we know comedy is a sense of "false violation" and because the film is based on a true, tragic story, we do not want to violate (even falsely) any of the characters that really did die. James Cameron (director) created Jack, Rose, Cal, Lovejoy and Ruth for the purpose of his film. They were not real people even though there may have been people on the ship that may share the same name; so out of respect we are only going to mock the fictional characters. The American actress who plays old Rose, (Gloria Stuart born 1910) was not a passenger on the Titanic and would have been 4 years old the year the Titanic sank, not the age Rose is portrayed to be by Kate Winslet.

Reading Tom Bancroft's book 'Creating Characters with Personality' says that when you design a character you need to know them in your mind and your design needs to reflect the personality traits, so below I have made two character research sheets. We know what sort of art direction we want and we are going to start translating live action characters into animation to fit our art direction.

Collaboration: Titanic Film Research

After Ruth's research on camera and composition techniques and Polly's research on art directions and 2.5D, I decided to take a look at behind the scenes making of and actual deleted scenes from Titanic, James Bond and Harry Potter see if I could get some idea influences there. This will help me as the CG Modeller making the sets if I can actually see the original ones, this will also be essential when making thumbnails and concept art as a group. - Paris

Collaboration: Mood Board - Art Direction

If possible, we would like to head in this slightly vintage cartoon style for our animated short. When moving forward we need to experiment to see if this will work with the pre-made rigged character we have received. - Polly

Collaboration: Mood Board 1 - Aesthetic

This first mood board is comprised of different art styles that could be easily translated into 2.5D (our current style goal). Whilst our idea is still very much in the early development stages this is inspiring us to take our project in a direction challenging us all. - Polly
