Scenario Character

Creating my character is the difficult part of this project for me because I want to create a similar style to Tim Burton but also thinking if the character will move in the animation or it just sit still during the sequence quite hard therefore I decided to create a character that doesn't move so I research again in characters from children's cartoon to movies and adverts, I enjoyed creating character design because of the difficulties it gives such as the shape, style, forms, movement, position and the emotion of it.




Final Character
using my sketches I vectored it using illustrator and adding other position of my character as seen on my mood board then importing it in after effect...






Characters & Storyboard
Story board for my animation on each one will be the sequence and show different scenario like on the first scene will be Emotional Abuse then Sexual Abuse and the last will be Physical Abuse its only a draft animation and I'll do a proper vector story board with my own character which I'm going to developed using influence from artist research on BigActive.com site.
The site have a long range of illustration artist that may give me the right character outcome although the characters and the illustration on that site are colour I'm going to interpret them with silhouette so that it wont interfere with my theme.





CUTOUTS
This is the cut-out version of my character on which I'm going to vectorised and put into my animation,I created the boy's part separately because if I needed to move some part or re-use it again for other sequence, I also added a Stage Curtain cut-out so the animation will look more similar to a shadow puppet show, this too will be vectorised and put on animation at the start.




Character Design
This are my character design that I created and all of these are based on my research on character and a wide range of illustration, I made my character simple because I'm going for a simple silhouette animation and even thought its silhouette adding emotion and other elements that may help the audience understand what's happening on the scene/sequence.






Character Design Vector
A vector version of my characters on which I have to present on the class taking the silhouette style with some minor detail so character will be easy enough identify by the viewers, making this character took me few minutes but I have not yet try to animate silhouette character most of the silhouette characters I have seen are humans in a green wall/board then remove the background and turn them into silhouette.
