Collaborative Brief - Loopdeloop - Making the animation

Roshan's colour testing and experiments...

(left hand side - favourite colour way)

• He tried out some different colour combinations, we both agreed that the blue/orange/red colour way worked the best.
• He tried out two different types of jack in the box - an egg and a normal box. They both look good and work well with the chicken. But we decided the egg box would improve the concept and make it more interesting.
• I like the rough graphic brush strokes - they work nicely with the bold black line qualities of the chicken and box.

• I took my finished print into photoshop and detached all the sections I wanted to animate.
• We had initially had ideas about moving the neck and wings but I didn't want to overcomplicate the movements - we would focus on movements within the head.

• Roshan made all the separate sections off the egg box needed to make it wind up and open.
• The animation for this will be simple - Simple movements will be more effective like a simple cartoon, this will be put more exaggeration on the chickens movements. 

• Together we made this background - taking ideas from Roshans testers. We took the same brush strokes and colour scheme, but made a composition that looks like the corner of a room.
• I thought it would be good to try and make the chicken seem as though it is in a room, rather than floating on a screen.
