Time planning




I created a time plan to guide me though this project, I worked out when we need to be animating by in order to give us a little time for editing it together and if we run over with time at any point. so these are just rough goals to have a date fro when things idealiy need to be done by, so the next task can be underway.

Presentation feedback




Callum put together our presentation, as he is the person doing all the important things at this stage. I did contribute with set design and starting to look at scaleing the set to the size of the puppet.

our feedback was to:

- Don't tell audience everything in narrative, use visuals

- Flasbacks, in stop motion? Digital? Pan round artefacts? Sketches? Photographs?

- Just in the one set? More?

- Character material? Latex

- Time plan, and communication is key.


My steps now, are to create a time plan to work from, and we also have to discuss more on material use for the puppet and set.

Set design

Based on the images I had found for my mood board, I began finding sizes, Ebay was a good place to find relevant furniture and then to get the sizes, and scale them down.

To get my measurements I scaled down the full size furniture by 10. This gives me the sizes for the set that will be build. For the design I took the second number and divided that 3. The measurements I wrote on the design however are for the puppet's scale, so they can be worked from straight away.

I also created the design in a 3d software, this is to further know if it looks correctly in proportion, and give the maker an idea of how it should look also.
