Character Designs

Character Designs

Portuguese Fisherman

Today I finalised my character deigns - over the past week I have made a number of changes. I've been using different skin tones and facial expressions. 
At last I think I've captured the fisherman's personality  

















Crab




















Tram

I am now going to use the Portugal "logo" as my main character in my tram ident.
The tram character's design is shown in the post above.

Animation Backgrounds

Here are my backgrounds for my ident animations. I have now chosen my three favourite storyboard ideas and I will make them 10 seconds long instead of 5 seconds.


Crab
I am quite pleased with this background but not as much as the next two. I plan to have the sea moving about in my animation and I would also like the clouds to move to one side.






Fisherman
I really like the boat and its background for the ident. I am again going to make the clouds and the sea move in Flash.






Tram
I am pleased with this ident's background and I am now thinking that a video that was recorded whilst on a tram in Lisbon may be better to use for outside of the tram than a photo of a street in Lisbon. As well as the character of this ident, there are some things that I want to add into the tram when I am working in Flash. They are: some metal poles at the side, some handrails, users of the tram and chairs that they are sitting on.
