The Ladz: Week 1

A Brief Encounter

This week we got into teams, digested the brief and explored roles, possible briefs and potential art styles.

My team consists of;
Morgan - Director and Character designer
Halli - Background artist and colour stylist
Me - Animatic and Compositor

We narrowed the briefs we'd like to partake in to LADBible, Heinz, and John Lewis. Eventually we decided to go with Heinz because of its creative freedom and interesting message (celebrating 150 years of Heinz and 150 years to come and a conversation between past and present). So ofcourse, we went with time-travel.

Uisng this idea we thought we'd try to do something with mixed media; stopmotion and 2D animation. I made a few tests at home with stopmotion ketchup (it has to be Heinz!).

Test to see how well the ketchup stopmotion meshes with a 2d digital assets.
