Back to old film characters

Pizdzius · 08-14-2008, 02:42 PM

I know it's not about Regnum, but here's the Regnum community and asking you guys will give me some thoughts.

Cause there's a long animation film I am going to make, like a disney production, but on my own, which will take me years and years and it will be my debiut. (well, hopefully) A film for whole family with music and songs \o/ I really like old style hand drawn animations and maybe that may sounds too lame for people who prefer high quality CG movies, but that's what I aimed for since childhood

Since disney or dreamworks never got any eastern europe ideas into their movies, I decided to make my own about polish mountains

Starring animals like in a typical animation, main characters is a Lynx

Do you like my design? I tried to make it as original and as cartoony as I could. And not similar to any Lion King or Aristocats

your thoughts are important to me since you're my best best audience (and only one

)

And don't worry, I won't even start it this year ;D

Nice! What other chars you have in mind?

-Edge- · 08-14-2008, 02:57 PM

Hah, good to have an original idea, I can't wait to see how this goes out for you, it seems good.

well you know, I don't have whole story yet. For sure some black characters, other lynxes, (female one should be there too

) birds, ye know, european fauna, and sheep herds with gorals

i don't know if you know what a goral is (our highlander) but they speak with awesome accent and I want to pay a tribute to them with my movie

That looks kickass.
Ever considered working for Dizney, when i saw the picture i SWEAR it was. But after reading, i believe otherwise.

That is some GREAT skill

Robin Hood, hu ? A good start !

Graphically, it looks nice, just a bit stiff maybe (it's a poor amateur's opinion, no offense in my thoughts, but I'm afraid I can't give you pertinent advices on the graphs :s).

Now, this is how I proceed to create a character :

- First of all, think of a theme for it (good, bad, tricky, true, imaginative, materialist, etc...) then a concept (a professor, a burglar, a madman, any combination of profession or activity). You'll have now to think of his physical description in a wide way (big, tall, slouch, imposing ... jeez I'm starting to talk like you're a child... but really, that's not what I want, don't get me wrong :S)
Well, I think you already have all that, so let's go straightly to part 2.

- His backgroud now, all that have made it what he is : childhood, environment, education, experiences that have impressed his life until now. Maybe you'll think this is not necessary, but it may be important to refine what will be seen of the char : his demeanor.

- Demeanor : after all he have seen, all he have experienced, our char definitely have a way of thinking, a way to move, to talk, to express his feelings or to hide them. Will he be aggressive ? Nonchalant ? Will he be timid, stammering while talking ? Or defending fiercely his opinions, whatever may be the consequences ?
It's an important part for this is what will be seen of the char, which means we will identify ourselves or not to the char.

- Interconnections : whatever he already experienced, whoever he already met, whatever he already thought, a char will always evolve in his behavior while he's in close contact with others living being.
Does he think love is a false emotion that can only make him weaker ? He still can fall in love.
Does he believe that nothing can be done in a given situation ? Something or somebody can give him the solution (or a clue to find it).
Does he think that friendship is eternal ? Well... betraying is human, too... and that can give him an occasion to find new strengths.

After having written that, I realize you surely already know all of that...
Meh, think of it as a reminder ^^' !

Hoping that can give you some clues.

Laeloth, almost everything you wrote is already done

Thanks for your help, but I think the basics are simple for me.

Also this is just a design, not ready in-movie shot, so maybe it looks stiff because there isn't much shading and no background

I don't think I should write here all my concept for the film because someone can sell it before I do anything with it, so forgive me if I don't write all the plot here

phoenix_jackson · 08-14-2008, 03:12 PM

I love the design. All the best wishes to you and this path. I belong to the highlanders of my homeland myself. So I'm particularly touched with the concept.

I'll add you to my chants when we do our next ritual

Pizdzius · 08-14-2008, 03:47 PM

yay! \o/ thank you guys
