Mum Character Design

Ok, so here's my rough character designs for the mum! Tom came up with a great idea to make our drawings more uneven and child-like, which was to draw with our left hands (or whatever hand's opposite to your writing hand!)

I thought I'd add large images so that you can see my notes from my sketchbook rather than typing them all  out on here.

Recap of today's tutorials and meeting

Hey guys,
So, our tutorial went well today and Ron seemed pleased with our work so far and was very impressed with Laura's production schedule :D so from now on, lets all try to stick to it- if anyone has any planned time away and can't turn up to the meetings, please let Laura or myself know before hand :D

Anyway, as there was only 3 of us today and we really needed the animatic done, we decided to take 1 character each and do a few character designs. Jade- mum, Laura- child, Tom- dad and dog!
We also decided that even though these are 2D drawings, we should do a couple of turnarounds or at least some different poses. We'll post these designs on the blog, but there's always room for more and improved ones!
I said that I was going to take on the role of creating a few layout designs using different media and compositions, which I'll also post after this.
Laura, Tom and I decided we should do a test animatic each, taking the same scene and drawing using different media-crayons, colouring pencils and felt pens.

We're waiting on the design of the family photo from Imogen, though Tom offered to produce one as backup.
I posted a note under John's door with the stuff he needs to be doing this week so that we can get the animatic done :)

We'll be back on track very soon so everyone get to it :)

URGENT PRODUCING NOTE ALL MUST READ!!

Ok so I think I should start with an apology as in terms of schedule I should have been more organised, however, I have learned the error of my ways and as of next week we need to all pull our weight - and attend ALL meetings! If you cannot attend a meeting, you need to tell me before so we can rearange as a group. If this is not possible, it is up to you to chase up either me or another member of the group who was present at the meeting to catch up on what you have missed.

Here is our master production schedule. If any of you have planned time away from now till Easter, please let me know so I can plan accordingly.

 
If anyone has any questions etc get in touch, will talk it through this Tuesday!
Have a good weekend :)

A is for Autism

Hey guys!
Was re-reading through my notes and came across the name of this animation we all watched as a class at the start of the project.
May be useful with our project animating childrens drawing etc. :)

Kinda Urgent- blank puzzle!

hey guys, as i was doing some research, i came across this website that sells blank jigsaws and the right amount of pieces that we need for our animation. U can get 2 in a pack for £2.03 or 6 in a pack for £5.10. Im not sure how big they are tho, but i need ur feedback on what to do. The minimum order price for the site is £5 so need to know soon so I can get shopping and i don't wanna waste money on something that is pointless :) Please get back to me- ill write this on the facebook group too!
