'The Story of a Square' Project, Research and Drawings

I started my animation course and had to set up a blog especially for animation.

We were given our brief 'The Life of a Square'. Basically we have to start and finish the animation with a particular sized square in the centre of the screen and has to be 10seconds long, everything in between is up to you.

My previous animation was a stop motion, this time I'm going to use the software, Adobe Flash and probably Photoshop. But I'm a COMPLETE cavewoman and have no idea how to use the software so I'm finding it pretty difficult. I know once I get the hang of it I'll be able to make the animation pretty quickly.

 I got the idea for my character from the Studio Ghibli film 'Spirited Away', from the little coal demons. I just thought they were such cute, clever little characters that I wanted to make my own.

 

 Below are doodles in my sketchbook in relation to the notes I have in it. Doodling is a fun way to kill time!!!
