Self Directed Project

This project is a continuation on from the last project, the moral consequence story. What I have decided to do is make some of the scenes that I made for the story move-they are called gifs (a short moving image) However, instead of using the girl and the doll that I made originally for the story, I decided to make them again. One reason being- I didn't particularly like the outcome of the girl I made (she looked more like an old woman then a little girl), and secondly the girl and the doll which she turns into look very different so it was hard for people to see (or realise) that the girl was the doll. So I have been busy remaking my character and the doll which she turns into so that they look more similar looking and I have been looking at some other 3d artists for inspiration and ideas for making my own scene and gif-

Lauren Child
I also looked at the very well known and loved illustrator Lauren Child, who has cut out 2d characters and photographed them in a 3D set that she makes fro her scenes. They are really brought to life by the use of lighting she uses in the scenes, as well as the choice of angle there taken from which is something I need to think about for when I make my scene. You need to have a look at more of her amazing work on her website - http://www.milkmonitor.com/
