Its all coming togther now, the characters, scenes, the story story board. The lion sketches was the first time that I've drawn something in that way. It was much easier than the way I drew the man silouettes.
The wings are for the front view of the male puppet, but i will have to hide them when at the back of him by the angle that I put them in, in the light.
I did the scene sketches in that way so that you can see how he wud be feeling in each scene.
Four pages worth of film quotes. I numberd each one so that when it comes to picking them i can just write down the numbers, time saver.............................. ........... now just have to change the speech into a animal sound
Half way know
Feeling a little relieved now because I was panicing when I couldnt think of anything and time was running out but, I have and it just needs to be edited now.
The animation I want to get used to moving the characters, how to light the set, sunrise, sunset and shadows. I want to do like a jungle type set as I could put in a few background noises like water and animal noises. I'm going to make a waterfall from two long boxes, newspaper and tissue paper. for other parts like trees and grass I could use newspaper, glue and cotton wool. As for the character/s they will be made from plasticine, just not sure what to make.

I think the pasticine that I used for this is too weak to be able to stand, plus it gets stickey when it warms up so I wont be able to use this in the stop motion. Im still going to keep it as an ornament type thing and just make a better sterdier lion model (out of better plasticine).
Finaly I have a new Audio idea. It came to me when I was playing a game. Took my mind of it for like 10 minutes then it hit me- do animal noises. Record some famouse film quotes, pick a few then turn them into animal sounds on Adobe Audition. Im doing animal sounds because its been a theme in my work.
I cant think of what to do. The more I think about it the more my mind goes blank. This is not good. Audio is hard for me to picture in my head, its not a picture it sounds and I cant picture sounds. This is getting frustrating! I have to think of something, I cant leave it as it is.
I've wanted to do a puppet show a while so im going to take this opportunity to do it for this project. Making the puppets while be an interesting thing to design and to make the limbs move properly.
Limbo is a shadow puppet looking game because its all black and white. The shades of gray in the background gives it that 3D look instead of being a platform, it adds another layer which I think would be a useful asset for my video.
Isabella concentrates on the dream and make believe worlds for her inspiration. Her puppets look realy intricate and detailed, I shall do the best with mine. Basing some of her work on her dreams and then puting her thoughts into a different medium is something that I am interested in doing for this piece.
The music in the Disney films, Bambi and Fantasia mainly. The way that they use music for the actual sounds of things, i think is amazing and it gives me goosebumps. Iam going to try to use music to help move the story along and add a little tension in parts.
Silent films use title/descriptive cards to tell the viewers what is happening or being said. I am planing to use the cards in mine to say what is going to happen, have to see which will work best.
Bit disspoined that it didnt work, you cant really make out what they say it just sounds like noises. the words and syllabuls that im looking for are to specific and some of the characters voices make it harder to hear. Need to think of another idea, but a simpler one this time.
