Abella Camera Map – where a scene is written and a set design is visualized. Character Design – idea of the character that you want for your storyline Thumbnail – are reduced-size versions of pictures or videos, used to help in recognizing and organizing them, serving the same role for images as a normal text index does for words. A camera map is where a scene is written and a set design is visualized. It is a standard part of the live- action process. Since you are the director of your film animation, you can set the camera positions so that it will be easier for you or your team to understand what parts of the scene will be featured in-shot at any point in time. After the camera map has been completed, concentrate on other more relevant things. You can easily decide on which environment material needs to be illustrated and which does not. Using the storyline concept you have created in the previous lesson, create four pieces of concept art that define the main shots and/or sequences in your film. The activity in the previous lesson lets you create an initial idea of the character that you want for your storyline. Now, go into your characters in detail in preparation for the next step of film-making. Below are the guidelines in designing characters. 1. Think through the style.
It is time to decide on your character’s precise
look. You may choose to make him/her simple or wacky. Keep in mind that when you make your decision, be sure you have a reason for doing it and everything should be planned. 2. Think about your character’s kind of personality. Do you want your character to be friendly or cute? Does he have to be uptight or attractive? Reflect about the kind of personality you want for your character and what the story needs. 3. Give your character some attitude. The pose of your character defines his/her attitude. Try to observe in other animation films and see how the artist and animator visually communicate the attitude of their character. 4. The proportion tells a lot. If the character is short and has a big head, it signifies a bright and intelligent individual. Alternatively, a character with broad shoulders with a square jaw defines a person of action and courage. The proportion of your character says a lot about him/her. 5. Consider the amount of detail for animation. Since you will be working on a 2D animation, every line that you put into the character will be redrawn several times. Even if it is just for the key poses, it would take a lot of time to recreate if you put in a lot of details. The first thing to do when approaching your initial design is to have a rough draw of your thoughts, like quick thumbnail sketches. Work on as many ideas and approaches as you can. Make a new Justice League hero character drawn in the style of any of the choices below: a.Spongebob Squarepants b.Adventure Time Character (any) c.Elmo of Sesame Street Make a rough sketch and scan for submission. Using your storyline from the previous lesson, put more details on your character draft. Choose three main scenes and make a camera map for it. 1. What is the importance of visual development?
2. How does camera mapping improve the
animation development?
3. What makes a character more
appealing? 1. Define camera mapping in the animation film process.
2. How important is camera mapping?
3. What are the things to consider in
designing a character? 1.Provide 3-4 Framing options in animation. 2.What is the importance of transitions in animation? 3.How does good staging affect the whole animation film? 4.How does bad staging affect the whole animation film?
