Finally done redrawing the storyboards and added shadows, I really liked drawing Jack in these shots.

I finished re drawing the gun scene between jack and jill. Currently working on the mines scene with Jack finding out about Robot Jill’s deeds.

Finished the scene. I decided to add shadows to make each shot easier to read.

Redrew the storyboard for the beginning scene of the trailer for consistency throughout all storyboards. In this scene, John Hill, the dad, is making robot Jill.

Finished doing the second part of the storyboard for the deal scene. I zoomed in on the eye of the robot near the end to transition into the next scene. I enjoyed coming up with ideas for the shots.

Started on the storyboard for the trailer. This storyboard is a scene where robot Jill makes a deal to the other villain of the story, Mr Droplet. I wanted this scene to convey a serious and ominous mood as I thought it would make sense to introduce Mr Droplet this way considering he’s a villain.

Finished Jill’s character sheet.

Worked on Jack’s design. I wanted his outfit to be loose to show his carefree nature. I added patches to show his clothes are second hand because his financial situation wouldn’t allow him to buy new clothes. Not sure if Jill should also have the same patches, because I’d imagine that Jack’s clothes would be in a rougher shape since he’d be messing around outside more often than Jill. His outfit is based on menswear in the industrial age, with the suspenders and collared shirt.

Worked on colour pallets for Jill. My team agreed that the duller green on the top right was the best out of all of them as it matches our current style.

On monday I worked on the character designs of the main characters, Jack and Jill. Our idea was that the two siblings lived in a town run by water. At some point, their father makes a robot of Jill out of guilt after her death from dehydration. I wanted Jack and Jill’s designs to be based on the fashion during the industrial age. Jill typically stays at home to help with the house and take care of Jack and women wore these kinds of aprons when working, so I felt it was suitable to add it in her her character design.

Went to Cobh to the zoo to do some animal drawing. This trip helped me get used to drawing animal anatomy.

Unfortunately I lost the original file for the lip sync animation so I wasn’t able to continue editing it. Luckily, I was already thinking of redoing the lip syncing to include more mouth shapes. Here’s the result.

Worked on the lip syncing in adobe animate. The process wasn’t too difficult to understand.

Went to the photography room to take some pictures of the lip syncing on my mini me.

I painted the background using watercolour. I didn’t have too much experience using the medium but it wasn’t too difficult to work with as I just needed to work from the lightest colours to darkest. I think the daffodils could be outlined a bit to define them better.

I worked on creating the Mini me. For the head and body I used cardboard and styrofoam for support . I stuck paper on the surface of the cardboard so that i can paint the design of the jumper and some shading. I stuck on all the parts together using a hot glue gun. Comparing the concept design I made, the torso could be slimmer but overall I think the Mini me was done well.

I explored different mediums and ways of rendering. I did an impression of the background for the animation.
