Set and Environment Creation

Setting the Scene

To create the environment for the animation I decided to create a small rustic house this will fit nicely for a cartoon deer. The first image shows planning the size of the the room. The next focuses on blocking out the layout of the furniture as well as basic lighting.

doors and windows are represented and loosely follow the staging of the storyboard

The present was modelled using curves to create the bows and sculpting to create the box, the present sahould standout from the rest of the scene to create enphasis on the surprise aspect. The colour might be changed to improve this.

The challenge with the staging so far is the character might dissapear into the background because of the earthy colours of the cabin blending with the Earthy colours of the character. This is the issue to overcome. The set maybe changed however, now the animation can begin the camera has been set up and now the character just needs finishing in order to start.
