He gave them the green light.
Now, onto Interim 1.
Story: My lecturers are completely fine with the story, saying that it is a nice simple storyline. However, they did say that some shots were redundant, so maybe I have to chop off a few extra shots later.
Character Design: Plenty of problems they pointed out here.
One, the outfit my character is wearing does not look very Goth-punk. Ah, may have to do some research on that…
Two, my main character looks a bit plump and stumpy. What is up with that wide body shape and short legs?
So I guess I have to edit those two things…and maybe darken the main character’s skin…
(my stumpy character design...soon to be edited)
Mood boards and backgrounds: They said I should de-saturate the flashback mood board rather than put a solid color layer on top and reduce its opacity.
While that is not an issue, the problem lied with my backgrounds.
One, although they are flat-colored, it lacks depth and looks more like a flat picture. So maybe I should add some gradients and shadows to add tone and depth.
Two, my backgrounds need perspective. My lecturers said that some shots do need more perspective, and in my mood boards, the perspective was very off. So keyword for this part: Perspective.
(my edited flashback mood board...lowered saturation to -60 and increased lightness to around 20)
Further action: I was advised to do some animation line-tests (walking and head-turning) for my main character before I can really start on production next week. Luckily, I got my long weekend ahead…
