first idea

HND 3D ANIMATION



PROJECT 1- FUNNY FOLIABLES




The aim of this project is that I have to create a cartoon charecter on 3Ds max and add it in with a setting and a storyline to bring slapstick humor and mayhem in order to make the audiance laugh out loud. the charecter is inspired by cartoons from the golden age of American animation.








FIRST IDEA

the first idea for the animation is currently the one I want to work on.

the story of animation goes like this:

it is is set in the American wild west in an old typical western town and the main organic charecter is a coyote with a disney look style with big flashy eyes and some felxiable arms and legs. he is walking down the town happily and whistling until he notices a training ground with shooting targets and a dummy of a bandit he also notices a sign next to the grounds saying "TRAIN HERE AND BECOME A LEGEND OF THE WEST" he happily accepts to do that and then it shows him using a pistol however when he triggers it, nothing seems to work curiously he checks in the barrel of the gun messes around and it blows him in the face at the back, showing his face all soot and black with his eyes only showing.

his second attempt is using a stick of dynamite he has it lighted and he throws it to the dummy the dynimate is a non organic charecter so it shows a face but no limbs. the dynimate has an evil, mishevious look and when it lands on the ground it rolls back to the organic charecter and when the organic charecter sees it near him he screams making his eyes pop out and then the dynimate explodes causing him to fly up into the sky screaming and while he flies up the sky he has a sad look on his face and he holds up a sign saying "mabye being a farmer is much safer"

MOODBOARDS FOR THE FIRST IDEA:

 

 

 

This is a coyote and its going to be the animal that I will be using as the main organic charecter.

 

 

 

This is the moodboard for the organic charecter here it shows all the inspirations I wanted to give to my charecter. the style on him is a mixture of old classic disney cartoon charecters from the black and white era with large eyes, cheerful looks and flexiable body parts that are made like rubber in cartoonish feel. felix the cat is shown in the moodboard he may not be a charectr made by Disney but his looks and style make him look like he was made by Disney some of his style was inspired for my charecter. the pictures of the cowboy and yosemite Sam also show that my organic charecter will be a cowboy but with a clumsy personality.

 

This is the moodboard for the setting of the animation here its meant to be America during the wild west so its going to be a western cartoon but it will also have cartonooish buildings and some of them will not be straight forward. the pictures of the desert also represent the mood showing how hot and dry the landscape will look but still contain alot of colour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the moodboard for the mood and atmosphere for the animation. this one is entirly differant from the last projects I did because the last project which was about making a video game trailer was dark, for adults and it had a deppresing mood this moodboard for the cartoon charecter shows that the mood will be for children and it will be colourful, friendly and cartoonish (most importan

this moodboard above is for the non organic charecter of the 3D animation. here the non organic charecter will be a stick of dynamite and would show a cartoonish face, it will be important to the slapstick humor and the story in the animation

 

 

 

The moodboard above shows what the theme of the animation just like on the landscape moodboard it is set during the wild west in America. so it has western feel, wooden houses, desert landscapes and old fashioned models like weapons and clothing.
