Heres a background which can be seen in one of the tests below. Although I like it and it feels like my sorta thing (swirly curly bits, lots of lines, sketchy and worked into), I may go with something simpler- forms and colouring technique- will go and get some feedback on monday(first cut review, eek).
Finally pinpointed how I would like the little girl character to look. Here we go:
Keeping the the colour simple and quite muted. I want the whole feel of the film until the end to be like an overcast day. At the end, it is a warm summers night and she will have more of a glow about her(she will be a young woman then).
Sorry, youtube seems to be cutting off the ends of my animations, nevermind, they are only rough tests. I shall remember to add a bit of darkness at each end when I have something better to show:)
Anyway, here are a few more tests.
Some very rough pencil tests. I think a lot of it might be a bit stiff but Im improving!:) First cut on friday, hopefully have a bit more done by then. I think I took a little too long on the pre-production, lesson learnt.
