Character Design Research

Design for the bunny characters
For the compositing video, we have to design which style of the characters inside it.
Cartoon or Releastic style??
We found some reference bunny images from internet for comparing which one is better.


Then, our ideas is used the cartoon style instead of the realistic one as it is a new challenge for us to combine two elements togerther.

Here are the 2D design for our characters: Female bunny and Male bunny

Week 1

Held a meeting with our supervisor on Friday (1/10) and showed him our progress. We have got our characters and storyboard done. But before moving on to modelling the characters in Maya, we decided to get the approval from our supervisor during the meeting. All in all, he was satisfied with our progress. Later on, he gave us advice and pointed out issues that we may face during the nine month period of doing the project. Issues such as sound effects, soundtracks and audience test. The meeting lasted for about thirty minutes. After a short discussion, we agreed to have a meeting in two weeks held on Friday morning.

Introduction

This blog is created to keep account of our final year project from week 1 to week 25 of UKC term. It'll be a "9 stressful months" for us. Our final year project is entitled "Bouncing Bunnies". The project is a 3d composite video, meaning we're combining real footages and CGI animations. But it wouldnt be a 2 hours feature film, because we're just making a short film. Probably just about 3-4 minutes. So yeah, for a 3-4 minutes film, a LOT of preparations, research and works need to be done.
