After presenting our research and ideas so far, we were able to give and receive feedback positive and constructive feedback to help us all develop and move forward and this really helped me a lot! Especially since I now know where everybody else is at too!
Things that we discussed:
I received some really positive feedback on my storyline and character designs which was great to hear especially since I've stepped out of my comfort zone. I was told that the storyline was easy to flow which was good because I didn't want it too be overly complicated especially since we have been retracted to only 20 seconds.
We discussed the possible formats I could use and as a group it seemed apparent that I am very comfortable with drawing onto paper and it is probably best if I do something that is more new to me. I like the idea of creating this animation on Photoshop using a Wacom Tablet because I feel like I need to get myself used to drawing on them and not always directly onto paper. Another thing I would think about is doing some digital experimentation with colour in order to see how it looks and have a play around, because I'm not very experienced with creating my animations all digitally (So this should be a great challenge for me)
Audio?
I had at first decided to create a whistling tune to play over the top because I thought it would be quite quirky and would fit the mood of the story. However after our discussions today I am now leaning more towards having no music and only having certain sound effects such as, the crackling of the fire, the sound of the Dragon's anticipation as he breathes in deeply and then blows on the fire and other sounds coming from the characters to suggest certain reactions. However I may still have a whistling tune in in the background too, I will decide on that once I have heard it with just the sound effects first.
Further Action?
After todays Discussion I have decided that my next priority needs to be, to do some digital experimentation on Photoshop and start thinking about how to create these different sound effects!
