During formative feedback week, After talking with my PAT she wanted the character to be more graceful and ethereal. I decided to go about this in two ways, one was to update the characters idle and move animations<\/strong><\/a> and the second was to create an opening cutscene<\/strong>, as this will be hand drawn and animated frame by frame and can make the character smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I began drawing I refreshed myself with the team mood board about the art style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this mood board we looked at the game Gris as recommended by our lecturer, for the cutscene I searched for some animation references from it. I do not believe I can make my animation look as smooth or refined as Gris but I will certainly be using it as inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Draft<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cutscene plan was in the GDD so for my first draft I created a variation of how it looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the original version in the GDD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Starting cutscene. The MC is waking up from slumber in the middle of the forest, covered in flowers and grass that turns in her hair and clothes as she gets up. This location can have the same environment as the Lakeside.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
