Session with George
This week’s content about the body and mime animation show, I need to do the design of the reference movement as well as filming the reference video.
I didn’t have the idea to perform the action at first, so I didn’t get to record a reference video the very first time. I wanted to be able to do a non-routine action, more than a lifelike action, I was interested in magic and artistic action. Then I looked on YouTube for some reference of the magician’s action, as well as some game character’s action perform, hoping to get some inspiration.
Here are the reference videos and actions I found：
The above is a reference videos of the action I want to do, which is similar to the game character’s standby action and attack skill show.
The next is the live video I made according to the reference action, the action is also my own design.
In order to further understand the movement and details of the action, I drew the key action in Photoshop.
Artwork
This week was to determine the storyline of the artwork to be done. So I spent the week drawing the storyboards. This story is about a woman who is oppressed by the reality of life and finds freedom.
These are the initial settings of the story, which may change later, but the overall story revolves around feminism, showing the theme of women’s pursuit of freedom.
Here are the designs I found about the scenes and characters, these are my reference images. I have one scene with grass and trees and one indoor scene, but I have not decided on the style of this indoor scene at present.
For the character, I want to do a realistic character style, here are the reference pictures I found.
