After the proposal was submitted the brief changed. Rather than doing a one minute animation we were asked to make a sequence of 5-10 second animations instead. This meant that any narrative that we had tried to make went out the window. Also having a meeting with the people from Lumen, the projection company we were collaborating with we found our designs had to be simplified a lot. This news was a bit disappointing as it meant completely reworking all of our work.
So I reworked my couples into shorter scenarios and made them silhouettes to avoid losing too much detail through the projection process. I also worked on a short sequence of an animated Christmas jumper pattern. To make our group’s animations have a theme we decided to all use the same limited colour palette of red, green and white. Any black would be shown as the bricks on the tower. These colours also feel Christmas-y without being too cheesy.
I changed my couples illustrations to silhouettes because the detail would have been lost in the full colour state. Also this would remove any issues of diversity. I am quite annoyed about this change because it means that we can have no narrative whatsoever now, my couple animations will be disjointed and not really mean anything.
