Animation Elective

I began my brief on Monday, my storyline be is "I opened the door and there was my porcelain doll rocking in the chair"

I have began by researching evil doll characters such as Childs Play "Chucky", Dolly Dearest and Demonic Toys as well as others. When I'm looking at these characters I am looking at body lanuage, there expression, music and sound used to intensify a scene, and the overall aesthetics of the films.

I've drawn up my storyboard and have began to look at the backdrop for my animation. I want to base the set up of the room on a childs bedroom so I have placed toys and teddys behind the small rocking chair in which the doll is placed. I wanted to keep the scene dark with a hit of light that picks up the important features of the scene. I have darkend down the dolls eyes with makeup to give that errie sense. Within the first scene I have placed the doll rocking unaware of anyones presence and then within moments she spots me walking through the door.


here are a few images i am using as a starting point for my animation.
