proto type 2 & Final animation

final animation :

final piece props

                                                                              

i wasnt too keep with the whole cogs idea at the beginning because i thought it was a bit random to the sequence and rest of story so i will skip that bit and get straight to the next stage of the story..
 also as the ending of a random apple appearing in the sky..
So i drew out some sketches of my windmill and tested out some colour palettes and styles and use corrugated card for raised characters but that will truly progress when i 'make' them to see where it leads me..

As i have found it difficult to use after effects i am going to use cell motion.. to make it a bit easier i am going to do my production in scene by scene.

Here are some sketches through my understanding of development and props i am going to use to make my clip

 

1st prototype of begining of my clip

this was done by me taking my own photographs of my quick drawn prop.
Improvments : try using some sort of camera stand n pure daylight, no flash, more fluid and emphasis of rotating cogs.

story board ideas

water colour & cut out the props/characters - mix media, flat surface.
circles - never ending; repeated pattern/object ( things pull out of each other ).

lots of different kinds of ..

1. cogs
2. spinning wheels
3. wheels

1. carnival balloons
2. earth
3. apples (pebble ripple in stream type

1. (different key rubbings) - leaves
2. kites
3. summer abstracted
4. drums

1. Cogs x 8/10 turning or multiplying - different colours and texture
2. then mutate into spinning wheel - in common is spokes
3. continue into wheels again x 6/8 *
4. stripes of balloons common to spokes  to 1 into earth- lots of pattern - psychedelic 
5. turn to apple colours x 6 --> 1
6. drops into a stream causing ripples

* (  or, windmill - balloon comes out..cloud turns into apple )

1. (leaf floating in water)
2. different leaves / foliage texture pattern shape (grow)
3. 1 grows into diamante leaf into kite
4. kite float away to join more - move around sky
5. kites smudge into summer sky - blue/pink--> orange etc
