The Road so Far pt. 4

Well, well.. I believe that the previous concept is really strong and I would love to work on it however just to assure my progression, I did another concept, a more simplified one just in case my previous idea gets rejected.

This idea is similar to the previous on as I said it's a simplified one. It talk about a pessimist but more in the sense that he want to be like others but he can't.

These lines are just a basic progression of the animation.

Then I wrote this to try to bring some emotions and depth to the story.

And I ended it with a sort of conclusion, claiming if you're a pessimist, be a pessimist.

YEAH............

I'm so not proud of this one 😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣

But anyway, I believe I might get some suggestion to improve it..

(One man walks the streets and all dies, Amongst the bright ones who walks away, He seeks what they have, 10 tons of sugar cubes he buys, But grey his world remains.)

{well I might have make a few mistakes while writing this one}

So I showed images of a character that looks quite shy, cool to represent the pessimism, and I showed that around him flowers are dying, then I drew other people laughing and facing each other as if talking to each other and surrounding them are lively flowers and really colorful to represent their happiness and each character have a pocket filled with sugar, to represent their optimism again while the main character don't. The protagonist is far from them walking toward them and the flowers around the happy people dies to represent the discomfort that the pessimist brings along with him.

The next scene shows the main character sitting on a chair while the other people are running from him and again it showed the dead flowers around him.

Well, this one is really brief but it basically represent the character buying sugar and filling his pocket like other people

The last image show that his pocket is filled with a mountain of sugar but the flowers are still dying around him.

After that I had my tutorial of course and I've presented my first idea first, the one with the god and the lecturer has actually approved it, she said to use it as an experimental piece which will be furthermore developed in the exploring sugar brief for next semester. So I haven't showed her this idea, this is on my blog just to show the various explorations I made.

I was told to read or either find someone to read the text that I've written in a low and grimy voice which I totally agree with, since it will bring all the exciting atmospheric elements to the piece. I've been also told to exaggerate every characters and their movements to bring the audience perspective more towards the protagonist's perspective. Furthermore, I've been told to remove the scene with the gearing part and try to represent that the ice cream is a fuel in a different way.
