OUGD502 - Studio Brief 1 - Pat Bradbrary Workshop Day 2

Workshop Day 2

The group concept for the story revolved around a blue character who was always sad and followed by clouds.

When the blue character comes into the scene his clouds cover the sun making the other characters hide away, making him lonely and confused. One character comes out to speak to him making the blue character happy and the clouds disappear. This makes the rest of the characters come out and everyone is friends.

To create the piece the characters and some parts of the scene were individually moved, with pictures taken after each movement. The large series of images were put into Photoshop to create a GIF.  

Things learnt:
- Making sure the camera was in the same place for every shot was important to create a consistent background scene 
- Collating and ordering all the best images into another file was important, making it easier to put them all into Photoshop and make the GIF 
- Moving the characters around by small increments meant that the movements within the animation look more natural, rather than jumpy.
