As quoted from the brief, "Effective CG animation relies on an developed understanding of audio-visual language. This unit aims to enhance students' understanding of genre and character. Genres are formed by conventions and characteristic devices that structure audience expectation. Likewise, the role of a character designer is to act as a visual casting director and develop characteristics that fulfil the story and peformance requirements of a script. Effective character design is essential to animation for conveying personality, role and story. This unit requires students to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of narrative and character conventions."
This project will require me to plan, design and professionally create three character and role archetypes: A hero/heroine, a villain and a sidekick/henchman. I have also been given a set of two 'genre' types to create my three characters from. My pair were Anthropomorphic and Superhero. Of course, the first thing I thought of was this...
Oh dear...
While doing this, I will promote my critical, creative skills, visual language, and imporive on my drawing techniques and creative integrety to create original characters.
Overall, this course has potential to be a very enjoyable one and I'm looking forward to getting started!
