Applied Animation: Environment Perspectives and Colour Pallet Moodboards

As we decided to work on environments together, I wanted to put together a few mood boards that would help us to stay on the same page in terms of aesthetic, perspective and style. I also wanted to source out some extra influence to go with our primary research, as I'm not so confident in designing and I wanted to make sure that I could produce something that Katy could at least work with.

General Environment
I showed Katy this mood board and she agreed with what I had been looking at and said that perspective was also a really important factor to consider alongside colour. Taking this into account, I went away and created a few more mood boards on the specific environments for our two characters. I looked back at our research and found references of the forests that our characters actually live in, as this would help give our work some authenticity and help to tell our story better. I wanted to focus on colours and shot framing and think about perspective too.

Boar Environment
Wolf Environment

Although the locations are in separate parts of the world (The Forest of Dean, England and Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany) I found that the colour pallets were very similar. However, there are quite a few slight differences that will help us to distinguish between the two separate environments. For instance, the Bavarian Forest has a lot more rocky terrain than The Forest of Dean. the Bavarian Forest also appears to have a lot of fog in certain areas, which I thought could be used to help strengthen our wolf character, as it links in with the whole idea that wolves are secretive creatures. However, this is just a thought and is something that we are going to experiment with when we come to do our material tests.
