Development Of Animation

Following on from my first initial idea I have started to develop the idea and start creating visuals on how I would like each aspect to look like with different colour ways which will determine my animation production. I have drawn the main parts of my animation and took great care with the detail and how I would like each aspect to perform.

Here I have looked a different colour's that I think would look well on the character field of my animation and also came up with the idea that throughout the animation the character may change colour depending on the characters mood. I then followed onto to sketch some cartoon/lego like facial features to show and express different situations. By doing this I am giving my animation a anthropomorphism aspect to it. I then joined both colours and facial expressions that match each other also the colour to indicate mood such as feeling sad would be blue, confused yellow and finally red for anger.

I have also produced a few sheets on the development of what kind of ball I would like to use throughout my animation. I have drawn up an illustrative brainstorm of different balls that relate to sport as my animation resembles tennis I thought it best to look into ball sports.
As the idea resembles tennis I think it best to actually use a tennis themed ball.
Snowballing on top of the idea I then brought up a few different colour's that the tennis ball could be portrayed in. I then chose my three favorite colour's and drew and painted mock up ups of how the ball would look with each colour.
