Week 2

 This week I was tasked with finalising the base character designs and working on testing colour schemes. After discussing the overall colour schemes with Emma and deciding on autumnal colours i chose to work with slightly darker colours such as browns and greys, with some yellows. I also conducted base tests on implementing a watercolour texture after everyone in our group agreed it could work well with a physical background. 

After sharing these boards with the group everyone was happy with the designs and agreed that a watercolour style worked well with them. For the cloaked figure we wanted to use the grey cloak (possibly testing a darker grey) as to not clash with the background too much, and for the frog we decided on the deep green and blue design. For the wisp we were set on using blue from the beginning so I stuck with this and messed with the shades as well as possible styles. The group really liked the painted style but this will need testing to see how it will work with the background.

Week 1

This week each member of our group was asked to create an initial storyboard for our narrative so we could see how everyone visualised it. This allowed us to discuss which ideas we liked best and what aspects would work within the animation. Emma and I compared our storyboards and worked out what we wanted to put in the finalised storyboard (Iago had not completed his).

I also began working on character concept designs as instructed, and discussed within our group what designs we liked and worked well together. My aim for next week is the have basic designs finalised and start looking into colour schemes and styles.
