Week 5: Pre-Production for FMP

Introduction

This week I started working on the finalizing the story and choosing the rigs for my final major project. My plan is to complete the pre-production so that I can transition to the production phase smoothly.

Choosing Rigs

The character from my story is a primary school student. He is a 9 year old lean and mischievous boy. I want the character to look a bit sharp and cute. Because of the time limitation I cannot model and rig the character myself. So, my only option is to either get the rigs made or buy it online.

Upon searching it online, I realized that I don’t have very limited options for the kind of rig I need. My mentor suggested me to have a look at pro-rigs as the characters fit perfectly for my story.

I feel that the following character fits my story well and the rig looks very flexible.

Finalizing Story

I already have my story planned out into the form of pre-vis but I feel that there are some loopholes and gaps in the story. I discussed the story of the short film with a few of my friends and they gave me some feedbacks about the gaps in the story.

Final Moodboards

I finalized the moodboards for both real and dream sequences.
