This weeks set up:

Again this week I used dyes and coloured asatate, but painted out the background with black acrylic. Overall I'm happy with the "cosmic" feel of the piece.

Fantastic Voyage: Fern Storyboard


The transitions between each stage will rely on the "morph". The animatic will show this process a lot clearer.

Fantastic Voyage Visual Concept

My chosen bio-scientific scenario is the life cycle of a fern and my target audience would be secondary school students.


For this project, the type of style I want to present my final animation is an oriental shadow puppet inspired style. 



Work in particular that have inspired me are; part of the opening sequence for the Japanese role-playing game Drakengard 3 and the "Tale of the Three Brothers" sequence from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 . The black on a plain, paper-textured background is very appealing to me, and if done well the whole thing looks incredibly mesmerising as the objects morph.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1; "the Three Brothers" sequence

Influenced by Alexis Liddell's concept art for the "Tale of the Three Brothers" sequence in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
