CPS- 07- Character and Events

Characters and Events

Method

For this week I used a video that I took, couple of months ago in Sydney from a man sitting on the ground cutting apples while he was waiting for his bus to arrive and made it into animation in TV Paint.

Context

The style of Piotr Bosacki’s work was a great point of reference, his simplistic visual representation of the character is what I found interesting, especially in his second video he doesn’t use sound at all. All the events happen visually which I think works really well.

Response

I spent a lot of time doing this work and learned so much about animating in 2D in the process. I eliminated all the visual elements around the character, and I let the sound communicate what is happening around him. I guess the character’s posture and actions can be an indication of his internal feeling.
