This is my poster.
I wanted to emphasize the eating part instead of the bowl, since that's what I tried originally.

So this is what I have so far. I've been playing with the younger character but I haven't been able to shoot it and time it, not that this is perfectly timed. I realize I have to add some in between frames so that she moves better. I just couldn't get it done in time. :(

I've been working on hair movement since I have an important scene of the littler girl running through a field.

Film Poster

My story is about an artist who lives for soup. Every time she eats soup it takes her back to her youth (as she is now in her 80's). The soup brings back memories of her world travels reflected through her paintings.
Tag line: "Heart is where the soup is"

I added the background to this one, however, I have to re-shoot it at the lab with the pencil test machine.

This is a new pitch for my final film. I've change the perspective and the characters a bit.

Final Film Background

I am using this background for my final film.
I still have to figure out how to add color, but I'm getting there.

I wish I didn't have to post this so early, I am hesitant about it because it is so rough.
I do realize that it looks like the old man kisses the boy in the end (I gotta fix that) he is actually smelling to see if the boy ate the sausage.
Any suggestions?

Please be kind.

Character Design

The above are the character designs I've come up with.

Final Film idea

This is a rough storyboard of my final short film idea.
I am working on the key drawings and will post them over the weekend.
If its hard to see, my idea is:
Old lady coming home, the cat is going crazy jumping all over the house.
She slowly gets to the door and when she finally enters, the cat is asleep.

Yay! I finally have a finished short film. I tried to animate the light but it didn't come out as natural as I wanted, it kinda looks funny to me. I tried really hard to animate the character's hands and eyes, I even added a seat adjustment to the blue character and a head tilt. The yellow character has a lot of eye and hand movement, it was fun to play with him.
This was a good experience. Now I really appreciate animators who do feature films.
