Group activities from Monday to Friday-

For all media info see discord chat. we begun to work on clearer and more official designs for chip which involved simplifying the design to a more easily re-drawn form and deciding as a group where the “chip” would be. We decided that she would be missing her right arm. Two people began to redraw the storyboards again in more detail for keyframe references and camera angles, Alfie begun to draw the backgrounds such as the outside of the abandoned house for the opening “zoom-in” sequence and title screen.

I made an emotion sheet for chip the doll such as showing what she may look like when happy, sad etc for reference later. I also started character designs for Charlie (the little girl/chips past owner) and made a series of designs in my own style which included a variety of hair lengths and styles and four different outfits based on time periods such as the Victorian era, 1950’s and modern because we had not yet decided on a general time period. On Friday morning we got Bubble Tea as a group then discussed Charlies character designs (deciding they she would have dungarees and short, fluffy hair. We also discussed colour pallets for the film, soft, warm colours with a potential change during the flashback scene.

Also this week we briefly talked about music and sound effects that we might use.
