Charicter and Narrative Week 5

This week I worked on watercolor textures for some of the backgrounds. I edited them in Photoshop adding stars. I then used the mountains that Eleni made and edited them so that they would fit the scene. In addition to this i also worked on colouring the dragoon turnaround. I asked Eleni for help with the face as i couldn't quite get enough detail in.




I also made a dragon scale texture by cutting up lots of small pieces of paper and arranging them into a pattern that resembles fish or snake scales I scanned this in and then duplicated it in Photoshop to make a sheet of scales for Carla when she makes the puppet.

 As far as directing is going. I have been making sure people are doing work and that work is split evenly Eleni is working on backgrounds and storyboards and Carla is working on the storyboards the animatic and the puppet

What went well?

• The watercolor effect came out as expected. Overall I am happy with the result
• I am happy with how the dragon scales came out.
• I have been very productive 
• I finished off my contributions to the storyboards. I was also left to format them and put in the directions. We may have to edit them at a later date as the style still isn't quite consistent

What could be improved?

• Whilst my time management for this project has been consistent and is a marked improvement over last year My time management for other projects, mainly PP and COP has not been so great. 
• We are still slightly behind on pre production due to Dottys suggested changes to the script and therefor the necessary re storyboarding.
