For the assigned client project, I will be working on an animation for the Young Creative Awards 2014. The brief asks what we think 'Nottingham Loves...' or what we love about Nottingham?
I'll be honest, I didn't have a clue what to do at first and thought I may be at a slight disadvantage coming from London - even if I have been living here for roughly 2 years now...
But after some mind-mapping, I managed to get this far...
...and after some more thinking, I decided by topic would be 'Events at Old Market Square'.
My first few concepts for this idea involved a lot of architectural modelling..which I don't want to do, to put it simply. I want to focus on character animation, so I've decided to base my animation in a white world. For the 'events', I've chosen 3 events: GameCity, the Christmas Market/Winter Wonderland and 'Nottingham Riviera'. Each event will be represented by an object (as per listed event): an arcade machine, the 'North Star' swing ride and a deck chair and parasol.
For the character, I've decided to use a lion to represent the lions outside the city council house in Market Square. Here are my initial character drawings and T-poses for my designed character:
My idea is that the character will interact with each object with some sort of..distraction between each object. I've drawn up a storyboard..but having spoken to my tutorial group last week and getting a few more ideas, I think I'm going to redraw this so that it doesn't look so...plain...
That's it so far...I'll end with a screenshot of my (headless) character model so far...
