Reminder of what style the director wants:
Black and white with a few small bits of colour, mainly red.
Ink the lines and colour in with watercolours, but not a lot of colour in the watercolours.
Animations to watch for style reference:
“Mary & Max”. Hope you have already seen it for Wednesday though. Can be found to watch online on Megavideo.
“Badgered”. Dark watercolours, we (Lukas) want a similar style, but which still has less colour.
Also, not for style reference, but for inspiration about the idea itself, watch “Stranger than Fiction”, especially the intro. Is in many ways similar to our scenario.
Character Design style:
Clothes: Business man shirt + tie (not bowtie)
Face etc: Bald or partly bald. Body shape – not fat, not too thin. Bodyshape – not too short, and you can tell where his hips are (so not like a stick).
Maybe wears glasses, but in that case with eyes showing through.
Oscar did a good design for the body shape (number 24), he's posted this on our Character Design web page, so let's further develop this.
Tips for background design. Location – Bedroom:
Open, nice, bland bedroom. Double bed. Good lighting, big windows. Clean. Clocks around the room. Slippers next to bed. Nightstand table next to bed with an old school digital alarm clock with red writing on it.
Tips for background design. Location – At work:
Generic office. “Cubicle”, four walls. Has a clock on the wall. Has desk with computer. Telephone sounds etc ringing. Think “The Incredibles” – Mr. Incredible’s job at a desk or in “The Matrix” – Neo in his office “cubicle” with all his colleges’ offices right next door.
Tips for prop design – Car:
Average black car. Volvo? Slightly depressing looking car (bland, not shabby, not too fancy).

That's basically it. I'll put tasks to be completed for next Tuesday in the next post ^^
