Reference for drunken dance scene

Eva, these are some images to help you with the woman dancing. I like the top one. If you need to draw miss fanny from the side or back please do. or even her profile might be needed like the 3rd image

I need to send you some other eyes and mouth shapes but we can deal with that after youve got some body movement.

Captain Pugwash and THE FISH MEAL

I really like the cut-out style and how the characters move on the backgrounds. especially the captains hands. Hopefully we can create something similar

Our First year helper will be...

More Images to inspire

Hello, Danielle again!!

some more images. I choose the image above because of the nice checkered floor which Eva used in a collage test she did a few weeks ago. I really like the floor- we just need to balance it out with a simple background to avoid it being too busy. also we need to make sure focus is on the main characters and their action.

I love this font

very handcrafted, frilly yet easy to read

idea for whenthe man takes miss Fanny away at the end. Could be nice with him carrying her over his shoulders. he is quite small so it would be quite a struggle and could be comical.

I think we will stick to him dragging her away but this is another idea

satirical charactature- nice pastel colours and exaggerated expression

neck detailsimilar to that of Miss Fannys- this material is more stiff but still same shape

haaa!

I love 'my fair lady' and this is one of the sets for the 'horse racing' scene. I saw the producion at 'Drury Lane' several years back and loved the colours and style

an English streetsign- could be nice to include one or two to get a sense of being in London

Quite naughty image in saw on a boardgame in a shop in soho. I like the shocked expression and saucy bear behind. She is acting very coy and innocent- playful and teasing

I went to the Apollo theatre recently and took this photo of an old poster for the show 'Dont dress for dinner'.

looks very flat but beautiful- taken in baker street

miniture model of victorian shop I saw in the toy museum

Set Design that really interested me. The front and back and interior are all on one strip of paper which would be easy to transfer into aftereffects

Images for animatic

Hello. Its Danielle!

I wanted to include some images to convey what Im thinking of the sets in my head.

The Wallace collection (which is by far my favourite museum )captures that period feel and is a great reference for our etiquette film

These are some photos I took at theWallace collection. Because you cant use a flash they arn't the best quality.
The top photo- I really like the pastel blue. its very soft and works nicely with the gold frame and silver detail in the curtain. love how similar the curtains and wallpaper are but perhaps it wouldnt be so effective in animation.

the second photo is very inspiring to my vision of the opening scene where we move over variouspaintings before reaching the frame with Miss Fanny in. I love the embellished frames and rich wallpaper. I know we are using pastes throughout but maybe the opening scene can have some dark bold colours???

I should test that
The 3rd photo was another idea for the opening scene, similar to the previous but including the chair. it gives more of an idea of a homely setting. I love the painting of the boats at sea- wouldnt it be funny if miss fanny arrived on a boat??? Its probably a bit much (animating the wind blowing her hair and the waves ect) but nice idea.

The last photo is useful to picture the ballroom scene. a beautiful room to stand in the photo really doesnt do it any justice

and Ill include some more photos below for colour ideas -because this gallery is so rich in colour

Character's name is decided

Yesturday, we decided that out main character will be named Miss Fanny.
here is her colour pelette for the market square scene.

Cobbled floor

This is a cobbled floor test I did on photoshop. I drew the cobbles with my Wacom tablet on a hard edged brush setting. I then used the burn tool to add texture to it and applied it to the background.

The Muppet Show: At the Dance (Episode 1)

nice pastel colours

funny-looking characters and movements

Kind Hearts...

Kind Hearts and Coronets: a film recomended to us. Very witty, lovely period costumes and sets

El retrato Oval- Allan Poe

The parts that show the corridor of paintings is like our opening scene. Though it looks like live action in this film (I know its not) ours will look more illustrative.

The Gentleman's Guide to ... Villainy

I was shown this film and really like the 1920s silent movie style. Even though our film isn't this period I love the drama and humor. Similar to our film, this is an instructional film but guided to the male.
