This weeks assingments have been mostly film-based. Well at least two of the larger ones, Story and Layout. We had to do 3 story beats and some character designs. :) I'm really falling in love with the character. :) I need to really do some animation tests because I feel like I'm totally not sure if I can animate him. My animation teacher told me that I drew like a child. Which sorta pissed me off. I had to really hold myself back from strangling him. hahaha. But I guess in essence what he told me was sorta helpful. He didn't like tha ti don't draw much construction to my characters. I've just been drawing th eway that's easiest for me. lol. I think drawing too many things would really overwhelm me after a while. Gotta find some time to do some animation tests.
My story has been sorta changing. I think there's two different directions I can go in.
I've been sorta working with the idea of an abusive disapproving father that would try to "beat" the masculinity into the little boy. So he would go to day care with scratches on his face or something. I don't really know. I want the audience to feel sympathetic towards the character and i'm not totally sure how to do that yet also fit that into 2:30. Thing with this angle is though, that if I wanted to go this way, I'd probably want him to do something more surreal than play house. Maybe go away to this imaginary world where he is accepted. Who knows. I gotta work it all out. My older idea is sorta more...i dunno, it would make a tad more sense, but now i"m introducing another character and I'm not toally sure how well they'd mesh/how to involve her. I know i want to though. I think ove rhte course of the next few days that I"m gonna start to write up a little and see what i can come up with. I'll post here of course!
I'm really exicted for my film. :) I can't wait. I can already tell it's gonna be a lot better this year. I hope i can finish it.
