For my film, I have carefully selected the colors I want to use almost throughout the film. I believe setting a color palette for the entire film would help set the entire mood of the film. For my film, there will be a dark mood yet fun to flow with what the film is about.

# data[].attributes.body
I made this mood board so that I can maintain the use of colour through the animation.

360 Sketch of the Bon man, I came to the conclusion he should look like this after a few tries.

# data[].attributes.body
The Bon Man is the secondary character of my Animation and the character design was thought to have the colours of the bonbon

# data[].attributes.body
This first idea of the Bon Man character just didn't work for me, I know I had to change it and my tutor also felt the same way.

My tutor advised that I gave the Bon Man a Spider look at the torso, head and hands.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a rough idea of the storm that reveals the Bon man

# data[].attributes.body
The main character design of William was inspired by the Netflix Animation series 'The Last Kids on Earth'. I created him having the ease of animating in mind.

# data[].attributes.body
When I had the idea of the animation, I had imaginations of some of the scenes before writing it. It had a boy running away from something even though I didn't immediately know what it was but I thought about him running in most of my imagination and so I decided to sketch him running from different angles.

# data[].attributes.body
I used this character from 'The Last Kids on Earth' as the reference for William

Sketchbook iteration of William climbing on a stool

# data[].attributes.body
I did a little test animation of William climbing on a stool to reach the Bon Bon placed on top of a bookshelf. These are a few sketchbook iterations from the scene.

# data[].attributes.body
William paces through that hallway as he tries to escape the Bon Man.

# data[].attributes.body
In another test animation, I created a walk cycle of William. Above is a sketchbook iteration of the walk cycle

# data[].attributes.body
What is a character without facial expressions? I want William to have extreme facial expressions of fear, confusion, sadness, and shock and I sketched some expressions around those feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
Props from from the first background design

This was painted in Photoshop. It was painted and not made with shapes. I also paid attention to the colours used to ensure they didn't look odd on the entire image.

This was made in Photoshop, I made sure I stuck with the colour palette so as not to make it look odd out of the other props and the entire image.

In a bid to create short animation clips, I was able to create a wave animation of William, since I couldn't exactly create a wave movement of his hair, I thought to create his clothes and added a little prop of a paper wave movement.

# data[].attributes.body
I needed calm and dark colours for my backgrounds, but first I had to sketch the background before adding colours. I thought it should have an old look and be a bit abstract. This first background design should serve as reference to others in terms of colours used.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first idea of my short film cover, I kinda prefer this to the second.

# data[].attributes.body
This image is just an example of the kind of perspective I like to use for my background designs.

All work and no pay they say makes Jack a dull boy. I took out time to visit Old Trafford in Manchester with some friends to watch the game of Manchester United vs Barcelona. It was my first-ever visit to Old Trafford as a Man United fan. It helped stimulate the brain.

# data[].attributes.body
I got the idea for the entire movie from the cartoon series, "The Last Kids on Earth". It is filled with different monstrous characters that were after a group of kids who had to fight for their survival.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a sketch of William's house and the colour palette I have decided to use for the whole street. Beside his house are his neighbour's houses and other props.

# data[].attributes.body
This sketch was made in Photoshop and will be painted in Photoshop. It's a layout of what I want it to look like before painting.

# data[].attributes.body
In my Short film, there is a lot of running. William, the lead character, has many running scenes as well and from different angles of the house. I love angles and perspectives so the scenes in my movies have different camera angles. Again, I love the movie I have used as a reference because of its camera angles.

# data[].attributes.body
Work from home with my 13" Wacom Cintiq pro when I'm not in School using the massive 24" Wacom Cintiq Pros with wider screens.

# data[].attributes.body
I get a lot of inspiration from a Netflix original animation titled "the Last Kids on Earth" The Character designs are fascinating as well as the background designs and the entire story.

# data[].attributes.body
It's all about the perspectives for me. I love the angle, and because of that I am considering learning 3D animation where I can express myself more artistically using these angles.

# data[].attributes.body
While in school using the 24" Wacom Cintiq Pro which is very conducive and flexible. It has all the software I need, I don't have access to some of them because they are expensive. like Toonboom and TV Paint.

# data[].attributes.body
The angles are my obsession, I use them in nearly all my videos and they give me a kind of satisfaction that is quite hard to explain LOL.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an idea for the poster of my short film, a reflection of the character William being chased by the Bon Man.

# data[].attributes.body
This scene serves as a good reference for William trying to get away from the Bon-Man. The Monster looks scary and ready to pounce on the boy, and William looks scared and ready to pace off.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a rough idea of the Bon Bon. It will be refined but this is the idea of it.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an idea of William's house and street. It is a work in progress, I think I love the sketch already and I believe the final design will be great. I really can't wait to complete it.

# data[].attributes.body
This is not exactly how it looks at the beginning of my film. In my film, William is seated on the ground and watching tv. But this looks like a good angle to use as a reference.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Animate CC to create the facial expression. This is the lining phase.

# data[].attributes.body
360 sketch of William's father. I thought of a tall slender man with the same hairstyle and a round face as his father.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I had concluded what I wanted his father to look like.

# data[].attributes.body
An idea of the lightning storm that reveals the Bon man and all the lightning in the animation.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a gif of William's facial expressions. I almost forgot how it is done and I had to remind myself by watching some tutorials on youtube.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the background for the shelf in the push animation.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an Idea of what I wanted Bon man to look like but this isn't the final look. As a matter of fact, its been completely changed

# data[].attributes.body
I had to rework the Bob Bon on top of the shelf by placing them in a container and making them more transparent. This is how it will appear in the actual short film.

# data[].attributes.body
I do all of my rough animation in Photoshop because I like the ease I get when drawing in the software. I feels like drawing on paper.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a reference for the hallway that William runs through. Though is for a school, Williams Hallway is for his house. Again, I love the perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
This is part of the scenes for my 5 seconds animation Assessment. When writing the script, I thought about what should come before he climbs on the stool and then pushing the stool into the scene came across as a perfect idea. I think this works perfectly.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the initial storyboard of the animation, still needs to be fined and some scenes added and removed.

# data[].attributes.body
I created this looping walk cycle animation in Animate CC.

# data[].attributes.body
This line animation of William was done in Photoshop before cleaning up in Animate CC and adding colours.

# data[].attributes.body
I Animated the videos in my 5 seconds animation separately using Photoshop and Animate CC and the composition in After Effects

# data[].attributes.body
This shelf illustration does not show the ground layer because it was illustrated separately. I usually separate layers in After Effects to determine the composition.

# data[].attributes.body
I initially made this design for the shelf but it didn't sit well with the animation so I had to do it again.

# data[].attributes.body
The beginning of the animation has an Aerial view of Bon Town as shown in the image above. It is the town where the mysteriousness of Bon Man happens.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a gif of William's facial expressions. I almost forgot how it is done and I had to remind myself by watching some tutorials on youtube.

# data[].attributes.body
I created a wave Gif, it was a character animation test.

# data[].attributes.body
I got the reference from a background in "The Last Kids on Earth". I love the perspective used and it goes with my style of background design for this project. All of my background designs are Painted in Photoshop. I could use Illustrator for it but I always want a feel of hand painting for my designs

# data[].attributes.body
I did a test of mischievous William sneaking through the house.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Photoshop and Animate CC to create the Animation and Background, then did the compositing in After Effects.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a rough sketch for the shelf done in Photoshop. I have been able to make Photoshop my best friend over the years when it comes to background illustrations.

# data[].attributes.body
I needed to test the color needed for the animation that would flow with the mood of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the background for the scene where William tries to climb on the stool to reach the Bon Bon.
