One Night in One City (Czech Animation)

This Czech Animation was awarded the largest grant for any animated production that year,

This is a feature length production of a black comedy story.

The media used is predominantly stop motion, and is suited to the genre with a darker tone.

The animation itself shoes a smooth style and is complimented by an unsettling music score.

My Tasks for over Christmas after tutorial

After the tutorial we have got our separate tasks and elements to contribute o the animation that will be compiled after christmas break.

• Choose a segment of the storyboard and create a piece of concept art for this.
• Possibly consider an animatic to boost digital application in the project.
• We have also considered putting animated 2D elements into the animation and shared these out, I plan to animate secondary characters such as fish swimming in mid air, chocolate bars, post boxes coming to life.
• I have also been given the responsibility to create the Ice cream van for which I'm working on a 2D animated transformation.
• We as a group will meet to film/ shoot the stop motion reactions and walk cycles etc to use in the final animation.

discussions over this week

As we break up for christmas we have agreed as a group on what assets and elements we will be responsible and start testing for. As the marks will be found in digital techniques in the animation, we have chosen and shared out work such as colouring up storyboards, making 2D, 2.5 D and possibly 3D elements to flesh out the animation, the story takes on a surreal aspect after the character falls over and receives a bad blow to the head. This gives us license to create as many abstract shapes and concepts to compliment the initial idea as possible.
