Telling Tales: Initial Ideas

When delivered with the brief and title choices to base our narrative on, I immediately had a few ideas that I think could have potential if they were explored further. I liked the idea of the "Opposites Attract" title, and I think this could be a good way to focus on the characters we produce. We could have two very different characters and base the animation on how they interact with one another, which would mean would be focusing on their movements and personality. 


We think that the Opposites Attract title could also open up potential for the characters to be quite quirky and comedic depending on what it is they are doing or how they are interacting with one another.

After having the Maya session where we worked with the pre-made models, we have also decided that it would be a good idea if the characters were relatively simplistic to make our lives easier when it comes to actually making them. We would also like to avoid making them too realistic/human-like for this same reason as well as we would like to avoid the "Uncanny Valley" phenomenon, instead we would like to keep the characters simple yet give them few human characteristics. This will be explored further once we have a better idea of narrative.
