PROGRESS

From the week2 meeting, we decided our team's goal as animation. The basic storyline is come from Yong. The main characters are three. Father(protagonist), Mother, and daughter. We try to find references for character, world/environment, scene, artstyle, colour, and architecture.

Before we proceed the sketches, I made a rough sketch of storyline(main event) to visualise and share the idea with all team members.

After we decided our decision, we started to find animation references. I suggested the stylised art style before we start to find the references because it makes our research more easy.

I got references from Kowloon city in Hong Kong to make the world more horror taste. After make my sketch, I feel the apartment needs to be more gathered and complex.

After week3 feedback session, we find that we need to brush up the storyline and character design. Each members come up with one storyline to decide the final one.

I want to show the difference between the car accident which is the protagonist's trauma and how it change his personality. I also put the character's facial expression to show how that character express himself.

In everyone's storyline, these characters are already died. So my concept for their design is the impression by protagonist. From week3 feedback, lecturer suggested us to make the character design for animation. So I reduce the complex and detailed accessories in their clothes.

In my storyline, I added more characters to Yong's original story. I add protagonist's co-worker to express how protagonist communicate with other people. For the character design, I make these two character to make contrast.

REFLECTIONS

We started our meeting in week 2 and we could decide our big direction in the early stage. However, we are lacking references, sketches and knowledge for animation design. We need to analyse animation design before we start sketches, so this process take our time. In the next step, I hope I can manage the team's work and time because we are rushing in the last minutes.
