Animatic

Keep reviewing my animatic, I found that there is several improvement for timing.

One thing funny,
Once I dub the painful sound for the man,
I mistakenly made it to children sound but eventually it is perfectly match with the animation!!!!

.........I wonder if I should set the main character as a CHILD.



I REALLY WANT A KEYBOARD TO 
TAYLOR MADE THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!!

Study of fairy

smooth movement, energetic, agile,
it use its whole body to represent its emotion(together with its wings)
It focus on the flying property




the fairies in this animation do not do much on the motion of the wings
instead, they are like normal character but emphasis more on the magic abilities and the props they have.

A man, a guy, a boy or a child.

After today's tutorial I get a little bit lost.
I am confused about choosing the main character of this animation.
I think all of the ways will work and people are all preferring a child because:

• the fairy look so cute and it match with the image of child;
• the story is more likely to be a children story;
• it would be wired and strange feeling of having a little cute thing appear on a man's arm...
• esp. one is strong, hairy, sweaty man;
• if the main character is a child then there can be many funny scenes, 
• eg. the beginning 'd be a playing swing part
• . . . . . 
• (will the man be pedophile......)

I got a lot of good suggestions.

I can understand that the characters and the story are not match with each other.

But end up I can foresee that if the main character is a child, 

then the animation will be:

• more funny,happy and joyful ;
• the fairy may be just like not finishing her job and being taken away
• colorful and it would be 100% children story..

I am not denying that it may be a children story but what I mostly want to emphasis on this story is that

• the fairy put a lot of effort on protecting the man
• the fairy love being with the man
• the fairy is fascinated in the surrounding
• it is a pity that even she do a lot for the main character and she loves him( kind of),she has to leave
• even it hurts, he want her to leave

it should be a sad story..

Also, 

I think there is misunderstanding for the word of "man".

Sorry for my poor English...
instead of the man showing above,
my understanding of man should be a guy,,or precisely describe will be a young, not muscular, cute(...a little bit feminine) teenage boy, probably 14-16 years old...

<<......... actually this guy is 21 -__-

<<this character is from a Japanese animation..and I'd say that the "man" that I wanted to character is kind of like him.

And the feeling between the two will like elder brother and sister...

Anyway,
at least I will change the main character from a man to a teenage boy or a child in the end..
I am not so sure at this moment.


After all, I think i am more clear of what I want to bring out..
(but still not so sure what is more suitable...)

Mood

Draf color palette.

Casting the fairy

the fairy is just like a little girl,
curious and naive,
but kind and caring.




Study/Research/sketch of little girls:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

after having the character class,

tried more different looks of the fairy, 

and tried to make her body structural.

                                      

Promotion Sheet.

I thought the poster/promote sheet would be the last thing to do for the project.
But surprisssssssssssssssed I gotta hand in it THIS FRIDAY.
I am just confused with everything not 100% confirmed yet:

style
the character design
mood board/color tone

so what should be on the poster
or what to show to the viewer is still undefended.

I had a thought of simply handing in a piece of plaster.

Research:wound healing

through the videos, I understand more the marco world of skin and cells,
so that I can understand more about the scale between the plaster and man as well as the healing scene.

Research: plaster

Study of plaster.
There are a lot of plaster with many different shapes and materials.
I decided to work on the classic shape one...and it should be plastic waterproof one.

Plaster Fairy

Brief idea:

You thought I were your skin.

Once you want me to stick with you and protect you,

but now,

you simply want to take me off even this is painful.
