3rd year film: DINO DINER

So I'm working on storyboards for Dino Diner! It's a third year animated short about a failing chef who owns a diner. "But Amy, WHERE COULD THIS STORY POSSIBLY GO?" Don't worry, I hear your cries. Sadly you'll just have to wait and see. Here I've given a harmless sneaky peak at some of the storyboards.

Dino Diner is to be made in 3D. I'm an unnatural 3D'er and the mere thought of Maya sadly sends my brain into turmoil. Still, visualising these shots doesn't seem to be too different to 2D. There's a whole 3D space to consider, but that is as it should be in a 2D storyboarding anyway.

Excited to see where this goes!

Character designs

Penryn Folk After refining my original sketches (which, for the record, were way off style to begin with) I adapted my approach and made sure the eyes were not as round and far more in proportion. I actually really enjoyed coming up with these 6 Penryn characters! The colour scheme is gritty and representative of the age as well as being colourful. I love the bearded character second in the line. His jacket's all torn and patchy, plus he looks pretty trust-worthy. The blonde-haired girl in the green dress standing next to him is also one of my favourites. She has a bizarre mix of hesitancy and adventure in her eyes that I find refreshing (I hope other people see this too) I think the way her arms are hung by her side gives her an proactive personality. I'm told the woman on the far right looks like she could bake a really good loaf of bread. Little tweaks have to be made here and there, but overall I'm proud of this line up. Watch out for that cheeky lil k
