Infuence Maps

Infuence Maps of research into styles, scenes and machinery that were used when designing the environments and planning what the style of the animaton would be.

The infuence map on the lef shows other artsts interpretatons of The Industrial Revoluton while the ones above show research of Victorian toys and infuental character design.

Industrial Revoluton Research

Time Period: 1800-1900 Changes in a number of areas e.g. textles, transportaton, the metal industry etc. Agriculture - Improving agricultural techniques increased food supply and materials. New technology improved producton, profts and commerce. As the agricultural sector improved, so did wool and coton producton. There was also increased energy in breeding livestock, controlling insects and irrigaton. Textles Materials from foreign sources. Mainly women and children worked in the factories paid lower than men. The conditons of the factories were not regulated much. Coal mining Very risky. Men, women, children and animals were used. Children were useful due to size. Improvement of ventlaton and transportaton in this era. Transportaton Plays a major part in the extent of the revoluton quicker, more reliable transport. Steam The power used in steam trains was extremely helpful in others sectors Quality of life Decrease in the death rate and an increase in the birth rate - due to the improvement of other sectors, there was more food available. Diseases were beginning to be treated however, less populated parts of the country were not as aware of sanitaton therefore, causing the return of diseases. Beter wages, improved clothing and housing. Factories were built near water sources for power. The conditons of the factories were awful - not well lit, dirty and packed. Factory Acts helped in improving conditons, and workers begun to realise the power of solidarity.

o Diseases Cholera Caused by sewage contaminatng the drinking water. Not always fatal (approx. 50%death rate of those that caught it) Smallpox The busy nature of a city was the ideal situaton for smallpox. Despite there being a vaccine available, many were unaware of its existence. It is an airborne virus. Typhoid Another disease caused by infected water. Typhus Carried by liceTuberculosis Atacks the lungs. Tubercles are produced by the lungs as a defence mechanism. Coughing causes them to be spat out. Afected those that were undernourished or who lived in damp/dirty areas. Passed through coughing. Killed approx. one third of those that died in Britain between 1800-1850.

Inital Storyboard

Inital Storyboard Sketches (Planned with Lydia Caplan)

Inital Sketches

Charles's head sketches. The aim was to make a character that looks sweet and one that can easily be sympathised with. I decided to work on the botom lef image.

Costume Designs

Character Development

Developing Charles' body and head shape, and experimentng with colour.

Character Development Eyes

Character Concept (WIP)

Character Body Redesign

The character did not seem quite right. He looked older than intended therefore, I went back to draw some very quick sketches to make him look younger

More quick Sketches

Character Evoluton

Working with the previous concepts and sketches, I worked on developing the character, trying to make slight changes to the fgure, face shape and features untl I created a character I was fairly happy with.

Lightng Tests
Experimentng with lightng, the scene was slightly challenging in terms of fnding a balance between creatng a dark, dingy factory whilst have a well lit scene for viewing purposes. The second issue was trying not to make the scene too orange to prevent the factory from looking too warm. We wanted to convey a harsh working environment.
