LAUAN 503 Character and Narrative - Week 2

Week two has been a successful week. I wrote the script which brought the story into life. Rhys and Gabbi's work on the character design has also meant that the vision is becoming clearer. Over all the team seems happy with directions and division of labour.
I've personally been working on the background and world art for the animation. I'm particularly interested in perusing this role within industry so was more than happy take on this task . After numerous mood boards, sketches and digital paintings we settled on doing a 1950's adventure poster-kind of style concept.

Concept Art This Week:

WWW- Team working well together, good division of labour, good ideas, the script is good too (never written a script before), initial ideas for concept art are really interesting and original, story is concise and malleable. Also I completed a time plan for us, so organisation is also went well this week. 

EBI- Feel that personally I could have produced more visuals this week, could have made designed more rockets and space backgrounds.  - However, it only took three to settle on a theme/style so perhaps quality over quantity. 

Also : MAYA

-We also covered compositing, shadows and colouring on maya aided by After Effects. I found this extremely complicated and hard to grasp, however still managed to export. 

Inspirations this week:
