Character design

This was my basic character design. This is simply Superman (Clark Kent). I aim to incorporate the cape into the animation by having it flutter while i move it through the video. Not only that it would be able to display certain powers like super strength and flight as with stop motion would look really good.

However this was harder than I had expected. However i did make a flexible man and had him in as close to super man as I could in terms of colours however the things i could do with him were limited as  the model was quite heavy so attempting to do some actions ended in the model breaking. However I did manage to replicate it by having him stuck to the white board. I think the way I was able to get around these issues was quite well done as it did not appear that he was stuck to the board. Not only this but the way he moved like a flexible man was quite cool despite the mediocrity of the model.

When doing the Estings I think that instead of doing claymation I will do live stop motion animation as although bringing inanimate objects to life through stop motion is fun, I think that making the live animation and making people do the impossible is incredibly fun and interesting. Especially coming up with the ideas within the framework of the location and the limited resources makes coming up with a story even more challenging to do.

In terms of location cause my character is a fun little flexible man who was jumping around the whiteboard, the location for this would be a simple classroom where he was created as I think that part of the fun of having a inanimate object as a character is having real objects around that character to make the video seem even more surreal and incredible.
