Schedule
This was a basic schedule I had laid out for the first 12 weeks of this semester. This is to make sure I have enough time to animate all of the scenes that I need to. Working off the animatic I worked out roughly how much time I would need to animate each scene by…

Test Footage
Before I move on from the Pre-Production Stage to Production I must make sure that everything I have made works well for the goal I have set out for with each part. For example that the puppets move well enough to animate while still looking like my original designs. Therefore I test each part to…

Music
The Music is a large part of my film that guides the story and draws in the audience, making it highly important. And a part I am not skilled for and so I asked for assistance from Jamie Dowen on creating a music score for my film. In a meeting, I went through the style…

Assisting Set Makers
Once again this is another stage of pre-production where I know I don’t have enough time to make all the sets myself and so once again I shall make two of the set parts and get assistance with the other two. The first set was that of the Yellow Garden which I got assistance…

Puppet Making
This is the largest segment for me of the pre-production of this film as I took two armature sets and decided to scale them down (to make realistic child size to the set) rather than risking the set becoming too large by scaling them up. And so the first stage was in the metal workshop…

Maquettes
The Maquettes were an important stage of my pre-production as they were the first initial way of seeing if my designs and plans work as real life 3D objects, therefore highly important to check scale errors that may have occurred. Firstly I worked on the puppets, Crafting out basic wire frames to size and…

Animatic and Sound Design
My Animatic developed a lot with the story. I had an initial drawn animatic that followed the original storyline with Carlina being older and coming from work when she discovers the other colours coming through the wall. ‘Colour’ Animatic from Frankie Wright on Vimeo. This got developed into a younger character when presented as it…

Storyboard
This is my first draft of the storyboard that I started out with on this project, having the montage of the other coloured lands until led to Carlina working at a desk. However as my story and characters developed to become younger schoolgirl this storyboard became void and was re-made to the actual storyline. …
