  1. Nick, this looks great, but I'm still a little confused as to a couple of things...

    What is the link between the little fellow walking and the plague doctor watching the flowers dying? Is it a flashback of sorts? The scenes seem to thread together without much of a link to each other and it's quite disconcerting - I don't really have much of an idea of what is going on ATM.

    Not sure about the fireball effects. Like the fridge animation I showed everyone in week one, the flames don't really fit into your style.

    What are your influences for your visual and animation styles?

    How are you planning on implementing text (mandatory in brief)?

    How does your chosen story support your contemporary interpretation of Ring o ring o rosies?

    Great work - keen to see more!

    1. thanks

      yeah im struggling with that scene my self at the moment he is supposed to be traveling showing dead flower surrounding him the he stumbles across this special flower that will plug the evil in the final scene but it feels out of place compared to the rest and suggestion would be greatly appreciated

      the fire ball effect is intentionally contrasting the rest of the scene showing that it is a element that shouldn't belong and is supernatural, this is also why the flower at the end has a fluid aura around it showing it is supernatural as well and both relate back to the great fire being the thing that destroys the plague in London

      with the text i have a strong idea as to where and how i would like to implement it but at the story is about a pocket full of posies i would like to break up the order of the poem is this ok?

      but any ideas or help with the walking scene would be great because i was going to put a second one in to show him walking to the evil energy at the end but with him carrying the special posie, but am concerned it wont fit again

  2. Breaking up the order of the poem is fine - go right ahead.

    It's hard to say at the moment - this is something you'd almost want to storyboard in order to get the flow right. Remember, you're dealing with a lot of visual language here "evil force", "special flower" and so on. It can be quite difficult to imply meaning to an audience, so just make sure that you're being clear.

    I can understand your justification of the flame effects, but I think they seem out of place. Can you give me an example of where a flat animation uses this kind of juxtaposition to illustrate difference?

    Keep at it!
