OUAN 403: Animation skills- Brief 3 : Animate it!

From the words that was given to us , I chose "Fear" as my theme to do a 10-15 sec animation on.
At first , it was a stalemate between doing a sort of Japanese horror story ( the slitted-mouth woman is a good one ) and a short of a WWI soldier right before the come over the trench , both differently but equally strong forms of fear. However , after some advice from Martin, I decided to switch to a more personal and, more common fear that is easy to relate to, which is fear of turbulence on planes. It is something that is very much familiar to me , so I probably can do a better job of translating that fear onto paper, plus , 15 seconds is a bit short to do a proper horror story or going through everything in the mind of a soldier. With that in mind the first stages were setting up the environments and characters , which was pretty straight forward :


Really took advantage of those tropes that are used to indicate fear on a character ( blacken eyes and shakes mark) . I also went for a very simplistic look , as I have to animate this on paper which mean drawing the character over and over again. Same thing goes for the plane back drop. Probably in-scene , only the character's seat will be drawn properly , while the rest can be omitted or done a very simplistic way ( silhouetted )
