here is the beginning scene and vectorised animals ready for animation. I also tried to put up the animations I did but they would only load as still images?

random pics?!

something we could've needed from the start!?



Ha, oh well! Here are some pics from what we discussed for the choice of animals in the wilderness.









To me I feel it could be a nice touch of visual language, using simple semiotics to portray the message.

running away option

1) man begins to run; angry bear behind the man.

2) the bear catches up with the man.

3) man is beaten up by the bear.

i like them, i think the muzzle of the bear looks really good! wot im gona do is draw them up in illustrator with all the movable bits n make a file that i can give to you and kieron tomorrow so we're all ready for animating!

character movments

some of the bear's movments based on Laura's bear style.

using cut-up colored paper, a camra, and edited on photoshop.

heres a quick mock up of the characters at different angles - theyd look neater when drawn up in illustrator. i also made a little animation on photoshop but my pc couldnt hack it and the whole thing just about crashed so ill c if i can get on the uni macs instead!

heres the pine forest with out the characters if u wnt to us ethis background
