Creative cards.

Here's a challenge. Creating a concept story from a random word on cards.
The cards I got were:
Character - Hare
Set - Beach hut
Show - Talent show
Artist style - Tomi Ungerer

 At first I was rather worried about my artist since he has done a wide range of style. I could probably pick up his rough lineart style.

The story I've come up with so far is about a hare that somewhat lives in a beach hut restuarant. His owner works in the restaurant in a way but that is not an important info. So the Hare dwells about in the restaurant and one day they host a talent show. The hare looks at a magician performing his trick with a rabbit and wanted to be that rabbit or at least be part of the show. When the Magician does another trick involving him climbing into the box(perhaps a dissapearing act). The Hare thought it would be a good idea to help out with his trick and hops on the stage and did the " cut the box n half trick".

Concept design on the hare with Tomi Ungerer style

Secondary character : The magician and perhaps the little rabbit

15 second of funny

The first group project of the year. Create a 15 second film that will make people laugh. Comedy is always a challenge.

In this group Emily came up with the plot of a little girl and her pet rabbit and taxidermy. Lovely little story.

I provided the group with a rough story board.

a rough animatic was put together by Emily Henshall and sound effects by Georgi Urumov

I've made some short animation test and some concept for the background. Mostly it will be the same through out the film with the exception of the ending scene with the rabbits and in the closet. The background idea so far was to be made in 3D but we are still decided of what to do with the final scene.

More work

Getting back to working on my task. Kinda exciting in a way, exploring more design method and gathering up new inspirations. I've been practicing and trying to improve my drawing and colouring skills, hopefully on my story telling as well.

Been doing more art. I'm practicing comic style panel in my free time

And another new colouring style I'm trying out is cel shading
