- A great resource for color selection and color thoery:
On the server lies the reference folder of awesomeness! It will be appended to as the class continues. Use the resources and examples for designing characters, designing environments, and the like. Use them to your advantage!
--------------------------------------
Assignment for Monday:
Begin work on building your story! Write out a detailed beginning, middle, and end of your stories, referencing either the scriptwriting examples at the links above, or the Powerpuff Girls and Adventure Time examples in the folder.
Use the mouse works model pack as a reference, as well as the scripts on the server and the links above. Flesh out your acts, and remember that your script's descriptions should match the pacing of your film! A more detailed description of an action indicates a slower, more deliberate and methodical timing of your character's movement, or of the scene itself. If you're going to have dialogue, we need to have the dialogue fleshed out.
Trim the fat on unnecessary scenes like we discussed in class! Each action, each word, and each element of plot should be exactly what needs to happen in the story. Pace it out so you're not writing more or less than the allotted time. Your sense of pacing will evolve as you write.

BY MONDAY, I NEED TO SEE:
- A written script for your story, with the acts, dialogue, action, and locations clearly defined. You can either use the script links provided, or the Powerpuff Girls reference on the server.
- Preliminary Character Designs for your major characters in a refined state. Make them colored, and draw the different sides of your characters! Have them arranged as front, side, three quarters, and back, similar to the example below:
More examples are on the server in the character design folder, and even more are visible with a quick google search for "character design model sheets"
- You can have more than one potential design idea. (use your visual references. Break down what is most important for your story.
- Preliminary environment designs for all of your major environments. (Color, etc, just like for your characters.) You are allowed to include photographic reference.
- I need color palettes too. For your environments and your characters. Use the site http://kuler.adobe.com for help in case you need it. (major environments are the ones your character spends the most time in.)
- Preliminary Environment Designs for all your major environments as well. You are allowed to use photographic reference.
For those of you that want to make some solid art, remember that an animated film is many pieces of art, all coming together in one amazingly epic production. Use this weekend to assemble the first major pieces of your story, and email me if you have any questions! I will send you grades, feedback, and the like this weekend.
