Fashion is blind
Type
Stop Motion Animation
DESCRIPTION
This project consisted in juxtaposing a character based on a audio of my choice, creating a set that fits the animation as well. In my take of the challenge, I chose a snippet from a comedy video entitled "Fashion is blind" by Brandon Rogers where he plays the role of a "famous" fashion designer that is blind.

CONCEPT DESIGN
When I started concepting for this animation one of the first ideas that came to my mind was that a rat would be one of the last animals to be "fashionable".
Because he is also blind his fashion sense would also be innacurate.
Those are the puppet parts that I had to create. The armature is normal animation wire covered in fabric straping cover it with plasticine easier and make it sturdier so the wire doesn't break. For the mouth I went with having detachable lower jaw to be able to change it whenever the charcter was speaking, instead of shaping the mouth on the go. This made the lip syncing process faster.
Those are some test shots I took in order to test the lighting and how to fixate the set in order to not have it move while animating.

This is the final storyboard and dopesheet for the animation with all the information needed to go into production.
