Animated Narratives - Week4 - Mind Map

My fourth week of research was character design. I will use the mind map tool to refine and set the character, identity, position and other information of the characters in the story.

I use mindmap because mindmap can provide a coherent line of thought to lead me to the information I want, for example, I can associate selfishness with words like greed. And by finding myths. The mindmap is the best choice for expanding content when I only have some trivial pieces.

Overall reflection:

After sorting through the content of Chuck Jones' joke-making skills, I added to the characters' simple internal drive and things they would never do. This setting makes the characters more detailed. Most importantly, I realized how important it is to read and observe things around me, that what is happening around me can be a great source of inspiration.
