For the interim 1 presentation i recieved a lot of feedback which was great to use for further development and change of approach .
The first few comments i received were about the backgrounds that i had drawn out and my tutors liked the idea that thats how i was deciding to start the animation. However they gave me another idea where i could have the character pop out of nowhere with no explanation leaving the viewers questioning why thats happening. and i liked that idea a lot so i took that into consideration.
second comment i received was about the demons character designs that i had drawn out. They really liked the style of the first one but thought it was too complex to draw out for each scene which i agreed with , since there are a lot of details to be drawn out, but i could simplify it and make sure it still does have that rarity in the design that hasn’t been done before but that its also easy to draw out whilst making the animation. They did like the second character design as well but it seems too generic and simple , since its been done multiple times so its not necessarily a different design , however they did understand that the reason why the second character resembles the main character is to show that this demon is somewhat the characters other self that hes been afraid of showing. my tutor thought if i did want to use that design i could make it more like a silhouette rather than a full coloured character , which i did like the idea off of but i didn’t know what else i could change from it to make it more scary or more pleasing to the viewers.
for the main character the only issue they had was if it was going to be too complex to draw out for each scene and if it would be too much work to make it as detailed as shown on slide 5.
And as for the artist reference, they really liked the black and white references i had used , and i was intending on making one specific scene of the animation all in black and white with one hint of colour . And they also liked deadsophisms art style , however the only problem with that would be the amount of detail that the artist adds such as shading and lighting , which was a worry for the time limit i have and seeing if i would be able to finish it in time.
with all this feedback i decided it would be best to rewrite my plan of action for the animation, style of the demon and also to see what else i could change about the animation to make it more unique.
