PROPOSAL FOR FINAL PROJECT IN THE PRE-PRODUCTION STAGE


Abstract
One of the most significant current discussions in the field of 3D animation is how to make the character have more personality, in order to make the audience love this character. The past 10 years have seen increasingly rapid advances in the field of 3D character animation; however, creating an appealing character is essential for the animation film. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine the direction of 3D character animation research in my final project.

Introduction
In the final project, I will focus on the action in 3D character animation, so I chose dancing and fighting as my main exploration direction. I think dancing can present the graceful movement, but fighting is the other intense action for the performance, if they both appear together, it will be interesting and with stark contrast; however, for the choice of character, I would like to use animals instead of human beings for the action scenes. In fact, looking at companies such as Pixar and DreamWorks animation, they have successfully created a lot of impressive character roles, for example Toy Story, Kung Fu Panda and Puss in Boots. Specifically the completion clips of dancing and fighting in Puss in Boots gave me a lot of interest. The director enabled the cat to become successful, to attract everyone’s eye, which has human personality and reflected most vividly. Thus, I decided to take the ostrich as my protagonist after my repeated exploration.

Methodology:
The research will be carried out in four phases (pre-production stage):
1.       Search the film or video resources, which are famous for dancing and fighting, analyze the specific movements of character (a week)
2.       Develop a short story and explore the different possible ending. There are contradictions and conflicts between the characters (a week).
3.       Search the relative reference, include dancing and fighting, which could use in story and shoot it (3 weeks).
4.       Design main characters and draw a storyboard (2 weeks).

Conclusion
About my final project, which is the sum of the past year I have learned, and I want present a professional level of work. So I will do a lot of research and make an adequate preparation in the pre-production stage.
