Stop Motion Animation Proposal

Stopmotion Animation proposal

This is my proposal regarding my upcoming animation, which will be based in 3D/Stopmotion. For my 3D animation, I will be naming it as such, “Titan Fighter” following suit from other fighter platform genres such as “Street Fighter”.

The medium I will be using for my project will be Stopmotion, a use of stopping and slightly moving a 3d model, too hopefully achieve 24 FPS and so it will run smoothly and look professional.

The intended audience I have selected and to hopefully target, will be gamers aged between 18 and mid 20’s, this is due to the violent content which will be contained within my animation.

The indication of my style will be that of a game scene/battle of, possibly intended to be a trailer for an upcoming game. It will contain violence, possibly containing aspects of horror and shock.

The content will contain a battle sequence between 2 – 4 3D action figures battling in a ‘street fighter esque’ style, including jumping animations and fast paced motion, with a fast pace. It will contain gore, to signify damage, with a health bar for each character dropping as they become damaged. Thus in the final sequence one character will become triumphant.

I am intending my Stopmotion animation to be 60 seconds or over (within reason) with a large scale set up, with hanging rig and set piece.

Second days activity

Todays activity

Today i spent most of my time, finishing off the build for my set peice for my 3D animation, adding the health bars for the fight sequence.

After that was complete, and i could not continue further until another date, i began the construction and build of my shadow cut out animation, buolding a skyline and stage props to prop the characters upon, starting very basic now, but further details shall be added at a later date, giving it more authenticty and increase the dramatic atmosphere.

Pictures will be uploaded at a later date.

For my 3D animation i spent the majority of my day building and painting my set, after a while it was starting to show structure, i am planning on adding various details such as scratch marks and the umbrella logo to the background, also blood stains to add to the violent atmosphere i will be creating.

Animation preparation

Preparation

In prep for my animation i looked into various forms of artistic work which i could implement into my animation as such:

 Using this Idea Of shadow Cut outs, I will be creating a short 2D animation, using rigging, and 24 FPS.

For my 3D animation, I have been looking into short animation using 'Action Figures', for example
street fighter style techiniques and battle sequences. I will build a set for which i can stage my battle sequence.
