Character design and background

Me and my partner Robin have yet to develop a background, because have chosen to an animation of rivalry between two politicians/leaders. The scenery is always regarded as a story teller in animations, it brings for feeling and understanding through its content and colours, the environment always gives of feeling and emotion to the viewers. This is what me and my partner want to communicate, the background need to look like an area of a working politician or even have signs that people relate to politics.

A lot of colour 

Bright 

      

When looking at these pictures I feel a sense of piece, softness, love and more positive feeling this because of the setting and colours of the image the scenery is relaxing through the representation of bright coloured trees and the sky. The light is one of the main factors use to make it look lively and positive because when I look at them the change your emotion and perception of what you see through setting of the picture of what is presented and the colour and I believe this is something me and my partner need to focus on as well as the characters in order to tell a good short story.

I am still working up my character and his features for Barak Obama and my partner Robin is working on Vladimir Putin I am still to develop a face for my character, but my plan is to design a simple character because I believe my skills are not full developed in Maya and I don't want to over complicate things to make the process of modelling difficult. Before finalising anything I think I will need to confirm my ideas with my partner.
