Animation 4: Applied Animation - Week 11 - Documentary

This week I we presented our work so far to the class.

I did a little research into streets during the times and found that there where a lot more smaller shops that where usually local little places during the 40s. And during the 60's they were a lot larger chain stores, such as M&S and Woolworths.

I also did some changes to the dresses, giving the paper cut out doll look a slight change again. 

 I then finished the animatic, ready for us to start animating.

It is only 55 seconds long, but I plan to animate the girls at the beginning in order to extend the timing of the film. We also noticed that the paper cut outs do not fit the mannequins there for I will have to change them again.

This week I continued with the dresses as I wanted the paper cut doll look to be perfect, and started making our presentation ready for next week.

I also had a conversation with Chloe regarding the name of our documentary. Which I then went and made a list of a few names. 

Chloe looked over them and came up with the idea of Vintage Wardrobe: Decade to Decade, which I love. 

 Here I made a slight change to how the background of the paper doll look would look, but after discussing with my group we decided that this wasn't quite right. The edges where to thick and there are to many tabs.

Week 4 of Documentary work

I began this week by making some initial sketches of dress designs for the animation, I then sent them to our group chat to make sure everyone was happy with the initial designs.

 40's

 50's

 60's

I then began to create the actual dresses.

40's

50's

I looked at my last sketch and I decided it wasn't very fitting with the style of the era, the dresses length was to long, and not in keeping with the trend of the era. 

So I made another 4 designs and put them in our chat so that everyone could choose which of them they liked the most. Which I got a response of  liking two of the dresses, which where the first and the third one in this ordering.

So I made both.

I made sure that each of them had the look of the paper dolls we had discussed earlier.

I'm more or less happy with the designs, but I may change some of the colours, to insure that they are in keeping with each decades choices of colours.
