This is a lovely piece of commercial animation that I stumbled across online. I think they have interpreted the narrative very creatively and dynamically. There is a lot of unusual movement with the characters which makes it visually interesting.

Momoco

Whilst looking at Momoco's site I discovered some very inspiring work. Here are a few of my favourite title sequences:

Great Expectations

Wolfblood

Misfits

Title Design

After a meeting with Rozi I have decided to focus my Summer on researching Motion Graphics - in particular Title Design. One example that sprung straight to my mind is the opening titles for the recent BBC drama 'Ripper Street'. I found that the designer is a guy called Nic Benns who leads a creative studio called Momoco.

Facial Expressions

I have been researching facial expressions for my characters as per this model sheet. I am happy with the outcome and feel that they emote accurately.

Walk Cycle Research

Here is a side walk cycle from the Animation Survival Kit by Richard Williams that Rozi has recommended. I will be trying walk cycles in Flash in preparation for my Narrative project.

Kitty Concept Design

Here is a version of Kitty done using Letraset markers on paper.

Mural Development

Here is the development of my figures for the battlefield mural. Mine are the 'Roman' style soldiers.
