11 Seconds Animation Part 2

Basically, the planning is of the main character's features is done now it's time to move on to his appearance. This is the part I've struggled with the most. Took me long enough... I've designed the main character to look like an old man, then decided on his proportions.

The main character

To remind you again, my audio is about "TV is power" thing.


The main plot is rather simple: main character is grandpa who occasionly has blackouts (thinks he's an evil mastermind or scientist) and this time is no exeption. After deciding with the story and main character I've noticed that the audio didn't suit him, but it was already too late to pull back.


Next was the rough storyboard I came up with and the more detailed after. I've also started the dope - sheet, to break down the audio clip and movement of the character. 

Final storyboard

Room planning:
I wanted to stick to something simple and traditional.

Living Room

Some reference:

Grandpa Bud from "Meet the Robinsosns"

Grandpa Abe "The Simpsons"

Eustace "Courage the Cowardly Dog"

I always refer to an old classical animation. Looney Tunes is no exeption. This part is a good example of a mad scientist design.
