Our first assignment for week 1 (27.09.) in MA Character animation was to design a character then imagine how they all react to each other in our given scenario and verbally pitch our idea in a 1 minute presentation. We were in a group of five people and our given scenario was “the group have to compete in the Olympic games”. We each designed character and picked one each to use in the scenario.
My designs:
We each designed a character where they would compete in their own sport and decided for the story that it would be announced that all the character have to compete in one competition – a running marathon. We figured for the plot to be more interesting, the shot would start out with a POV witnessing other character racing and with uncertainty on who would win, then the POV character speeds up towards the end of the race and you can in fact see, that the cameraman character won.
