Animated Narratives Week 8

By using a mindmap I was able to visually explain the various ideas/ concepts that I want to address with my animation. Primarily for this, I was focused on what sort of lighting, movement and how I would represent the passage of time. This is useful for animation, particularly 2D, as you have complete control over what the viewer sees.

As I was working, I discovered that I wanted to have certain things such as the main character herself moving feel fluid and that the worldspace should be painted in water colour to further reinforce the theme of water. This led me to look to ballet and ice skating to see how I could choreograph her movements.
