the first week of major project pre-production has began and it is yet again time to draft a whole new plan for a short film, so i contacted one of the other animation students in the batch and asked if she would want to join forces, and so, i have a teammate now. i never worked with this girl before but i have seen her work and it is very impressive, so i have high hopes for our project coming together. it took us quite a while to come up with a decent concept to work with, but after i watched a short movie on Youtube revolving around flower people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhutLj3SVzQ i decided to build a concept around humanoid flowers. the story takes place in a living room, and it is about a little love encounter between two potted flower people. throughout this unit i will be using the guide "what is an animation pipeline" https://www.gamedesigning.org/animation/pipeline/ to help with structuring out a good system to follow, it explains the steps that a production goes through and it will help us out a ton, especially because with have extra time to perfect it. we ended up actually coming up with a decent story to support the concept we developed, we are now aiming for a 3 minute short film and we are focusing on beautiful visuals and good character design.
