Final Story Board

Just added the timing in. It's roughly 20 seconds long, which the final product will definitely not be. Just a little estimate of how some parts of the scene will go. Timing is prone to changing in animation!

First Attempt Storyboard

 

Prop

Environment Research: Kitchen

Again, my inspiration comes from Disney's Ratatouille. The warm colours in the kitchen create a warm environment that I want to aim for. Even though a setting is optional, I'd really like to include one to made my animation look better. -This is all if I have time in the end though!

Model Sheet

I still don't have a name for my character! I like 'Fat Chef' ...

Keat suggested that I show the volume on either the front or back of the hat to show it's proportions & shape more clearly. This helped me get a better sense of the 3 dimensionality of the clothing/ prop.

Shadow Colour Concepts

I chucked some cool and warm shadows on the characters shirt & hat. I imagine the kitchen to be warm, with things such as the stove on and warm colours in general for the kitchen setting. It depends on the lighting & colours in the environment.

Texture Swatches

I like the idea of multiple materials used to form the kitchen setting. Clothes are pretty standard.
