Group Tutorial

Today we had our group tutorial where we looked through our sketchbooks and picked out the designs that worked the best, and what they communicated. 






Successes:

  • The yeti type character was definitely the one that got the best reaction from people and I feel like this is partly due to his humanoid form which translates quite well in terms of movements etc
  • The materials used have dictated the characters I've created so far which I think up until this point has benefited me, but now I need to try and narrow down my character choices and just focus on one, but trial what materials work best for it
  • The simplicity of my sketches has also helped with other people giving me suggestions, it means I didn't come into this session with a decided idea of my character so I couldn't be disappointed if someone didn't agree with my choice
  • The session has made me take a step back and look at the designs long enough to realise that the yeti communicates the vibe of my chosen song the best, and as that is the main aim of this project that is probably the most logical character to run with. Where previously I was so in love with the weird pink dog character that I was ready to chose that one, but now I think I'll save him for later.

Failures:

  • Weirdly theres not much I can criticise about this task, but one area I haven't given myself the time to explore yet is collage, so that's something I will resolve in the next stage of the brief

Next...

  • Next I will finalise the character I will be taking forward into the next stage, which I'm fairly certain will be my lil yeti pal
  • Start playing with materials and processes to make my yeti the most effective he can be
  • Begin my storyboarding of the movements he can make in my GIF
