Week 4 : Brain storming ideas and testing


Hello and welcome to week 4 

For my senior project I started by looking for references. I watched more than 24 hours of short films and I found out that youtube is filled with one story presented differently and most of the ideas are simple and has no depth in them. I decided to animate a story that I was told. 

The story is about a greed and how it is like drinking from the ocean water. the more you drink from it the thirstier you get and you will never be satisfied. 

My Vision
- one main character and lets call him " Animate" 
- one vending machine. 
- no conversation. 

Exterior... night time 

Animate is walking back from work. he is super tired and exhausted dragging his suit case behind him and can barely walk. He stops by a vending machine to get a can of soda to refresh him. 
Puts a dollar into the vending machine and picked a drink... the machine is not giving him anything... he get frustrated and starts banging on it trying to crash it. it spits his dollar back... he takes it and before he leaves the vending machine spits another dollar out. he finds out that the machine doubles your money and he goes from frustrated to insanely happy ... He fills bags with money .. he leaves to hide them and gets more bags. when he return he finds someone trying to get soda out of the machine.. animate sneaks behind him and knocks him out and hide him inside the vending machine. 
fast forward ... he inserts a dollar and the machine drops a soda... animate inspecting the machine trying to fix it. nothing is working .. he pulls the guy out of the vending machine to get inside of it. while Animate working inside the vending machine the doors shuts down and he get trapped inside it. the man wakes up and animate's money goes to passer who accidentally sees them.

This week I struggled with imagining and planning the details of my story. I came up with many versions of it however deciding which version fits the best and more efficient in applying my vision.  one scenario was including two more characters show up out of nowhere. the first character will try to get soda out of the vanding machine but Anim stops him by knocking him out and shoving him inside the vending machine.  the second character will collect all the money after Anim gets trapped inside the vending machine. On the other hand I decided to go with different vision which is. One solo character in the entire sequence. Anime will collect money until the machine gives him a Soda and he losses his mind and traps himself inside the vending machine.  Animation I succeed in creating a progressive walk cycle.

testing and correcting  After finishing the basic storyboard and some animation. I started cleaning up my work. as an artist I learned not to fall in love with my ideas. critiquing myself   improves the quality of my work. I went through the animations and figured out what's a must and what's not a must. As I learned from Professor mark I put a gun a the shot's gun to find out how important it is. I killed some animation to make the story more efficient and understandable. found out that this shot is unnecessary and its taking too much time of the scene   fun personal project to light up the mood
