My Brief and Project

Digital research (this process is to be documented on your blog):

You are going to design a 2D character – this character will be completely of your own design, but MUST be inspired by the style of a chosen animator/illustrator. 

 Draw and sketch initial ideas for this character – this should be a pose sheet not turnarounds.

Then make a short storyboard for a scene with this character – 15 seconds long – the action should tell us more about their personality.

 Then you are going to research how the DUIK plugin works (there are many tutorials and some are already on Blackboard), and look at how characters are designed to work with this system.   You must take notes, and document your findings.

 You will then redesign your character based on these findings, and produce the assets you would need (e.g. separate body parts, angles, mouth library, puppet pins for bendy limbs/hair) – make notes about how you have had to adapt your design / storyboard so that it can be animated with DUIK.
