Visual & animation research with evaluation
For any process to be successful careful thought must be given as to how its aims will be achieved. Research must be carefully planned and evaluated to ensure that it achieves its aims. The more time you take to research and evaluate your project the more likely you are to develop / create a successful piece of work. With any piece of animation it is important to have clearly defined goals and milestones as markers to your overall achievement. This helps to motivate and enables you to regularly review your work.
Adopting this process allows you to explore and evaluate various possibilities for your character while developing their individual personalities. Do you want your character to be friendly or mean, tall or short, bulky or thin, what style of clothing and colouring do you want to use etc? The concept development stage allows in depth evaluations to be carried out of the various options that you may want to move forward with. This is one of the many ways of using non verbal communication to portray how you want your character to be seen / perceived.
Finally, this process allows evaluation of any technical difficulties that may arise and provides you with the opportunity and benefit of being able to put them right before they become a finished piece of work.
