Evaluation
Here is the start of my animation, i am extremly disappointed with myself in not completing a finished product. This term has been by far the worst term ever for myself in not being able to work to my full potential, somehow the time on this project has just flow by but thats no excuse.

I had a very well planed out story by my standards and i was going to put my up most determination into the the movement of the characters in this animation but time went by and i found myself producing this failed attempt and i was having to rely on the animating tools in adobe flash which was a hugh let down.

My Animatic

because my blog has gone and cut the ends of the video again

Heres a bad animatic with an even worst audio dubbing over the top of it the voice is mine, the idea was to ask someone i know that person has a good voice and was right for the project but in the end he let me down and with no time left on the clock i had to swollow my pride and do the recording myself.
The story is able a nice guy who is in a conflict with himself and in the process he has developed a split personality, this story is about how one can over come that little voice in your head and not to do any bad thing it tells you to do FIGHT BACK!

Final Mock-up Character

This is the final mock-up of the character im going to be using in my animaition, i know the colours are borrow but there wasn't many colours to choose from because im goin to be usnig alot of greens and browns in the backgrounds of my animation and most of the colours would either clach or i didn't like them.

Character Mock-up Testing Colours

Here's just a few ideas for what the colours of my character is goes to be, to be far i'm not that keen on any of them, colour pallets has never been a strong area for me it's something that i need alot of practise with.

Final Character Design

My final character design it had taken me a while after lots of drawing all looking very similar it this out come if i may add but i had finally came up with a design i liked and that i would enjoy animating.

Its been hard i couldn't find or think of any other animations that have this slim, bony style to them but i did manage if find some inspiring illustrators like gris grimly and jen wang.

Research and Inspiration

Corpse Bride

nightmare before Christmas

Here is a couple of film that have inspired me for this project, not for their unique storylines or their dark fantasy persona (which are great by the way) but for the style in which they were created, i love the tall and thinness of the characters and i find it fascinating in the way they move.

piggy project!
