Unit 04- Further Research into the terms

After a few days off, relaxing and practising only my drawing skills, I am finally ready to start this new unit. So I did a further research to break down the words that were given to me, because some I wasn't sure about, also got some reference pictures to help me understand these same words.

Lumberjack

One who fells trees and transports the timber to a mill; a logger.

When I think of Lumberjack, some words come to my mind such as, masculinity, being strong, rough and fearless, but also Canadian, lumberjack shirt and beard.

I found this Monty Python TV Sketch Show, that is somehow related to my character and to the story, I will be telling.

All these images, alongside even more will be really helpful when creating the character to give a extremely similar and believable look to him.


Beauty Parlour

An establishment providing women with services that include hair treatment, manicures, and facials. Also called beauty salon, beauty shop.


On the other hand, really opposite words come to my mind when I think of this word, femininity, beauty, clean, posh and beauty treatments, hair, manicure or facials.





As these is going to be my space in the three act animation, I will come up with some concept art that sets the time and style of the Beauty Parlour.

Hosepipe

flexible pipe for conveying a liquid or gas.


it is a object that can be used in our garden, in any kitchen appliances such a sink and boiler, or even by fireman.

Now that I brokedown the terms I'm ready to do more visual research and sketches :).

Unit 04- Story-Telling

A new unit is already on, though we havent received any more informatin apart the brief, its time to start to work. In this unit, e are asked to create a 1 minute pre-viz three act animation, witht he words that were given to us in these mysterious envelopes, also elaborate a storyboard and create our own characters, something that I always liked to do.

So after all opening these once mysterious envelopes, in them we could read 3 random words put together, and according to Ethan , it seems like a cluedo game.

Once again to present my words which are:

Lumberjack


Beauty Parlour




Hosepipe

I am already loving the opposition provoked from these 3 words that surely I will be using as my favour on the animation.

To understand a bit better about storyboard sequences and pre-viz animations, I had a look in you tube for some examples.

Pre-Viz Animation: 2012




Storyboard Sequence: Lord of the Rings



After, researched this 2 examples, I realized how useful a storyboard or a pre-viz animation is to a film, that even before is getting shot all the ideas are already set in the paper and everything is already planned how to go.

Also, to not forget is a 1500 words assignment added to this unit as well.
And I'm ready to start after a long weekend and a day relaxing :)
