Script, Boards, and Reference for Character Animation
For my second animation, I plan to animate a desk lamp coming to life (ala Luxo Jr.) and interacting with a decorated pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern, it's light going off near the end to reveal the pumpkin's painted eyes glowing in the dark, with the lamp acting "shocked". I intend to have the lamp shuffle forward instead of hopping, but if I feel some short hopping is necessary I might elevate it with some kind of rubber eraser or other similar material. The scene will largely be illuminated with a separate light whenever the lamp's light is on, once it turns off the lamp's light will be off, giving the impression that it is lighting the scene. If the pumpkin's eyes don't glow enough on their own, I'll consider touching them up in photoshop so that they read as glowing better. I intend to use adobe premiere to sequence the shots one after the other like I did with the falling object assignment. I intend for this to be no more than a minute long, maybe even less. Just a counter, a lamp, and a pumpkin will be enough for the staging, with a single fixed camera for a single undisturbed shot.
