Okay so i realised my previous idea for my film was riddled with problem. Firstly, it would mean a hell of a lot of work and dont think i can get so much done in the time i'll have. Also, since i'm primarily a 2D animator, i wanted a piece with more focus on the animation so i dont have to be getting many people doing all the other work for me. Elements of the story and characters were reminiscent of existing characters/pieces and i wanted something original.Also, the film was meant to be synced to music, and finding the right piece was proving a nightmare and making progress slolw. I decided after some deep consideration that i needed a new idea, something more subtle where i can just do some lovely animation to show off.
My new film idea is softer in its look and story. No backgrounds (or very simple ones), just characters. Its an emotional piece about a boy who is bullied, so he draws fantasy creatures to be his friends. More details on the story as i map it out
These are my initial concepts. The film features the boy as an 8 yr old, and then as a 13 yr old in school. These are sketches for his design, though i may alter them as i go along. The film will be coloured in this same gold hue.
