Paper - Pre-production of an animation
“Paper” is the name of an animation project made for a 2D animation class, and it talks about an old artist, who lost his best friend, a dog, who followed him for many years. The animation looks to depict the artist's journey as he deals with grief and loss and learns to forgive himself. Here it is possible to see some of the pre-production elements and characters studies, as well as the storyboard and some animated moments.
Here we can see the development process of the main character, the artist, a part of pre-production carried out for the discipline of Character Development, which explores poses and expressions.
In another pre-production phase were I worked and studied what would be the setting for the animation, what kind of lighting would it have, and what elements would be scattered throughout the space.
The biggest challenge was to make the animation's limited palette work in an organic and fluid setting.
Here is the storyboard for the animation.
