Concept Development 02

Week 2 - Day 1

Today, I started on some background concepts. Which basically means I did a lot of google image search to get a mood board going for some color concepts and layout ideas. I think I'll stick with the color scheme of brown and grey (but this might change later on, we'll just have to see...) so Emelyn will POP out a lot more in comparison with her bright colors. SEE BELOW:
Background Mood Board
I'm not too sure how Maya works? And who knows, maybe a 3/4 view of a background will look TERRIBLE but I like it so I'm going to try it and see how well it works. If it doesn't then I'll switch to a normal flat view but that sounds a little boring. I DON'T KNOW HOW 3D WORKS?! (Total noob.)

So! In the background, I want the coffin and the flower pots to be up on a mini stage. The podium will be in the front. For the sake of simplicity, there won't be any extra characters although there will be the original audio from the "Alien Chestburster" scene playing in the background. The grieving widow will have her moment!! The cake, if possible, will wheel into the screen as shown from the arrows below.

Background Layout

I'm thinking that the cake decoration/trimming will be the same color as the clothes on Emelyn, or maybe slightly desaturated to offset and not take attention away from her.The rest of the cake will stay white, unless another color works better but this is what I'll be going with until stated otherwise. (I'll make note of this in a later post...(we'll see how well I remember this!))
Cake Model Sheet
SO!! This is day 1 of week 2. Tomorrow, I'll work on a model sheet for Emelyn and, if possible, squeeze in some expressions sheets for her as well. Yay!!


P.S - We watched "Inside Out" today with a short at the beginning called "Lava" and IT WAS SO CUTE! I cried. I am not ashamed to admit this. "Inside Out" was nice, too. AND NOW I know the reason why I get annoying songs stuck in my head. UGHHSDJKFHSKFHSJK!

P.P.S - Bing Bong!! Why, Bing Bong, why?!? DX KJSHDKHSDKFHSK


SONG OF THE DAY: Lava song in the Pixar short also in the same name. It's inspiring! And so, so sweet...


Cheers~
