Character:The Rafflesia & A visitor
This week’s work explores the concepts of externalization in character design through performance and dialogue.
By using the storyboards, I am able to show the girl’s confusion and the Rafflesia’ s hunger, and their dialogues at the same time through the bubbles next to them. This is similar to animations that characters speak while they doing actions.
This work is similar to the 2D horror comic book animation made by Scott Palmer(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8cFQmXXezQ). It combines the comic book form with speech bubbles into an animation.
I feel I pay much attention to drawing characters and the environment in storyboard rather than consider the words in speech carefully. This may be against the concept of looking at the dialogue and sounds.
