Day 07

It was Interim 1 presentation today. I really enjoyed it as I could see how everyone was entertained and their smiles on their faces.

But first, I would like to share how i even come about to my final character.
To begin with, i had already pictured the character to be someone whom is dumb, gullible and yet has a fatherly look. So what I did was to research and find images of dumb and fatherly humans. Tada~ These were the outcomes:




Seriously I find the one whom is plump with his spectacles on to really give an impression looking gullible and fatherly; however when I searched on the real priest whom died instead. The character didn't look like him at all. This is where all the problems start.

My mind was so fixed onto his real face that my imagination too was restricted. I wasn't sure how to stylise him. In the end, I thought of making him short with his legs. This was the outcome:



However, when I let the others see it, they said it doesn't look too stylise and in fact would be tedious to animate. Thus, I continued to stress and ponder on how to stylise him. Shermin helped me by finding me images as well. It was of great help. In the end, when I remembered Amanda's lesson about exaggerating the features. That's where I make his ears big and eyes really small. Adeline commented that he looked like an alien the first time she saw it. But, here is the final thing. Tada:




Oh.. I decided to add an additional character which is Sam. He is a young, cute boy whom will be seen cuddling and hugging the priest.
The sketch and finalise drawings are shown below:





Now back to my presentation.
It went out well, but some comments were made:

- i may cancel the front part, and jump straight to when he is already attempting to do the world record
-Maybe need to add the priest having conversation to an operator
-invent a totally new phone
-edit the narration

I will heed these advice. Wow.. It is my first time inventing a gadget. I hope things work out well for me. As for adding the conversation, I am afraid whether it will lose the audience' interest. I will be doing a trial and error test.

Here are my storyboards:






That's all folks~
Comments are much appreciated.
