BSW - CAA - Finch Actions Research

Finch Actions Research

I have spent a lot of time today researching the movement of the Galapagos finches. I looked at how they move; chirp, eat, fly and stand in detail watching videos and looking at images. I also found out a lot about the evolution of the species, I have a lot of pictures for reference.

The finches all move along the terrain by hopping like many birds. They use flight mostly to traverse the islands they are based on. I have mainly done this research to see the movements and actions so when it comes to animating them I will have a really good idea. It all seems very obvious when writing this down...

I looked into how each variation of beak eats too, looking at the different foods and different beak movements and how agile they are to get the food. I have got many images of the different birds close up to their beaks and from distance. This will help my concept art and modelling process when it comes to it.

BSW - CAAyr2 - Character Design Sub Tasks

Character Design Sub Tasks We were tasked to give character to things that already existed. I was given the Guggenheim museum which is a very unique building already with a lot of character. I have given the prompt military so I thought of hard angles and uniformity, which is something this building did not have... When looking at the building for a while and thinking of the prompt I saw a battleship. With the long platform and the bridge-like feature, I figured that is what I will turn it into. I am happy with what I produced here letting myself be creative and lose which I am working very hard on. The main problem that Justin had with this is that it was unrealistic... It is more of a stylized piece rather than an actual thing people would work on and use, which is fine because it was not specified that realism was wanted. We were then tasked with creating an interior of a character given to us. Mine was an Aztec priest so I started researching what that entailed. They used to ...

BSW - CAA - Finches Concept Art - In progress

Finches Concept Art - In progress I have been continuing the finches piece after the research I carried out and I have finished another finch. I have done this one in a more cartoony style as I am exploring my choices for the animation. It has bold, consistent lines and boxed colours to make it pop and it has a big eye that makes it stand out. As of now, I am swaying towards the cartoon style more as I feel like a video for educational purpose, it will draw more people in...
