Delegating Tasks...

A Quick Low Down

I thought I better post up our actual idea for this project as none of us seem to have stated what we intend to do. We are doing an adaptation of brief C - the character animation project. There are 3 of us in the group so we have picked 3 of the characters listed, one to design, model, rig, texture and snimate each! We scrapped the 2 children and grandma as we found them the least interesting of the list. Instead we picked Cornelius the well educated respected Gorilla, and Wee Eck McGlone - the long serving, bald, scot zoo keeper. We were stuck for a 3rd and decided to adapt the brief as Jared said we were aloud to and add our own 3rd character. We chose to insert another Gorilla into the mix, however this one would be a dumb normal non speaking Gorilla that Cornelius would be stuck in a cage with. The 2 could bounce off each other perfectly and allow them to interact in a humourous way. As for the story, we're still working on that - we know we want to do 3 short funny advertisments rather than just the 1 suggested in the brief. Oh and we have the best ever super duper never thought of before setting to our film - Top secret atm tho.

Jobs for the Boys

Today we split up the concept work needed to be done into 3 equal shares. We decided I would be in charge of designing Cornelius the Gorilla and his dumb double act. Tom is designing Wee Eck McGlone and Alec is focusing on storyboard, animation tests, and set. We decided I should design both Gorillas because they must both be designed in the same style. A curvy rounded gorilla next to a jagged angular designed gorilla would simply look wrong. The must be the same - but different? - if that makes sense. When all character development is done and concepts finished we will then all start modelling our own characters, mine being Cornelius. Now the tasks are divided we can get on with it and re group this wek with our designs and discuss favourites to develop further.
