Braille Institute - Echo Location Exercises

Here are some sketches of things I have been learning during the sensory awareness class at the Braille institute.

Music is Everywhere

Animation Test - Cars and People

Another animation test. I'm a lot happier with this than the first, it's much closer to how I want the film to move.

Visual Development - Boards

Here are a few 'story boards' of some of the major scenes of the film.

Braille Institute - Shape Exercise

This past Wednesday at the Braille Institute, the teacher led an exercise teaching students how to recognize when other people are nearby. He walked in a shape, making a monotone noise and the student had to guess the shape based on his sound. I tried guessing with my eyes closed a couple of times and it was tough! I could tell the difference between a circle, line and triangle, but squares and circles were much harder to differentiate from one another. Here is just a little sketch, thinking about those concepts.

Visual Development, Part 2

I did a new batch of sketches, trying to work out the details of the visual map and establish a design for the "characters". Even though there isn't necessarily a story with characters, I still wanted a consistent look for the people.

The Map

Here is a first draft of a visual map for my entire film.
