UNIT 5 ACTIVITY
Creating a Character
As you have learned, there are a lot of features to animation. Every little detail in the scene needs to be planned. You can choose to complete this assignment with hand drawings or, if you have access to an animation program, you can use that instead.
The first step of any creative process is figuring out your goal. So, think about what kind of character you want to create. What sort of adventures will your character have? Does it move in a world that looks like our own or in a science fiction world? Will it have super powers or move through a realistic world? The great thing about creating your character is that it can be whatever you want it to be, but you need to make those decisions and keep them consistent (the same).
Once you have decided what kind of character you are creating, the next step is to actually create it. Provide a view from the front, the side, and the back. If you are using animation software and can do some basic animation, you can do that. If you are drawing it by hand, draw at least four drawings of the character in motion, like a butterfly flapping its wings or a person running. Think about what else will change on the figure to make the action happen. For instance, as the butterfly flaps its wings, its feet and head will also likely shift positions. Be mindful of copyright laws—make sure that your character is completely original.
Create another drawing or scene on a computer that is the background. Include any figures that need to be part of the scene, like buildings, trees, castle walls, or whatever you need to show your character in its environment.
When you are done, you should have at least seven drawings, or animation that shows the figure from all sides and in motion in addition to the background. Write a brief paragraph describing the character and the setting that you created for it. Whether you were going to turn this into a full-length feature or a short, give some idea of what kind of adventures the character would have.
