BSW - CAAyr2 - Main Character Ideas

 Main Character Ideas

My main character has the trait of being heroic but not bright. This means that I will have to mimic this in some way the physical character. Since the theme of my character is toys, I want my main character to be similar to a Lego figure, and here is why...

They have a very basic range of movement using their arms, legs, and head being the only moving parts. They can also hold things using their cup-like hands. I feel like this links to the fact that the character is not bright by showing a lack of movement, comparing to the other characters in the story that may have more or a free range of movement. 

With the character being Lego, there are a lot of accessories that will go with it, using Lego fire hoses, Lego heads, helmets, and equipment. Below are some items and accessories that would come with a Lego character. 


The character can have a range of heads and facial expressions.

I have researched the film "Lego Movie" to see how they got the static figure to move. They stayed true to the Lego movement as much as they could however they used a lot of animation to make the figure do what it wouldn't be able to do in the real world. The second image below is not possible using a lego figure however, the other photos are possible.

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...
