Test animation 1




The above animation is a test I have done just to see how I will animate a tree for the season of summer, I am personally think of ways to make each scene involving the tree simple but effective in depicting the environment according to the time of year e.g. wind blowing leaves in autumn. I am working with these tests to help me build a concept for the designing of my tree, I recently visited the Studio ghibli museum and got the chance to see Hayao Miyazaki's work, I personally have always admired his style of work, it is very simplistic but detailed and this is the type of work I am looking to create. My next objective would be to create another animation which demonstrates a transition from season to season, e.g. Autumn to winter because I don't understand how I am going to change from one scene to the other. This is just to help me build an understanding of how each scene is going to work in and out of when they transition. I working hard to create something with simple visuals that are both effective and detailed for my audience.

Storyboard




This is the basic storyboard setup, it is currently still undergoing work, but the basic idea is to display the change of the seasons through the display of a tree to show how the weather changes the environment. I have add small indication e.g. woman drink a cold drink whilst sweating to show the effects of summer.

Narrowing down Festivals to submit animation to (One out of the three)

These are three competitions which have caught my eye, I am mainly thinking about entering my work into the Tokyo Lift-Off Festival because it does not involve a submissions fee and is international, I also think that I will have more of an opportunity to attract attention from many people from different international backgrounds.
