Droopy



Aswell as researching into a youthful full of energy character, My story was also going to include in contrast the complete oposit, a lazy not full of much energy character. And I can take influence from this clip, as you can just see from the effect of Droopy's eye that hes not full of energy. Ilike the way Droopy is animated for example he dose'nt move alot, and often stays still however he's like the center point of the animation and everything happens around him, and he looks oblivious to eveything. Something I also like wich will similar to something I want to include into my animation is the storyline of te more youthful full of energy character trying to play tricks and having them backfire which this animation demonstrates perfectly.

Pixar Intro



I really like the way the lamp reprsents a youuthful charater full of energy and I can take influence from the way the character jumps as im includind something similar into my animated, for example he takes really big strides and moves really fast across the screen. I also like the pace of this animation, and its such a Quick simple story which as been animated so well and includes good use of some humour too.

Wall E



Reasons why I can take influence is I really like the way walle is animated and even though he does'nt speak much, he cretes alot of emotion through his movement and as a robot I really lke the way he is used in squash and stretch. I also like thu humour which comes with his character and the sound effects even though he does'nt say alot are brilliant. I also like the way he represents a youthful character which is something im looking for in my animation

Character Design 0.6




I recently was searching through my ipod and came across these examples of artwork, I really find the Disturbed image useful as it displays, fire,robot like creature,a human physique and a kind of evil kind of character, something which I believe could have been incorporated into a end of level video game and I really like the character design. Especially the the eye and mouth effect and not been able to see his face, display of mystery. I really like the fire effect and textures on the Hatebreed artwork

Character Design 0.5

After going to the crit, I have narrowed my selections and Have decided to design a vide games Character for an end of level boss. I have decided to take the words Robot and Fire and combine the two to design a character. I am taking work of Ralph steadman as a huge influence into my project and am going to spend the next weeks experimenting with different types of media and researching more into the topic such as finding examples.
