Adaptation B - Character Development

After my feedback from the pitch today I need to focus more time on my character design. To help me gets better understanding of the dimensions of my characters to allow me to draw them how I want them to look I started playing around with some sculpting clay. I feel as if just from making this simple character it has given me a better understanding of how to draw the character. Espcily regardibg the beck and the depth of the face.

Adaptation B - Skit Storyboards

For my adaptation B I have 5 skits that all revolve around 3 main characters. Wilbur, Joan and Geoff. These characters are frogs and the skits follow their journey in the day. The skits have been made from sound clips from films and then taken out of context to be humours.

Skit 1 the frogs are in a tank and one, Wilbur, gets selected. Thinking he's going on a trip the other frogs want to go with him. After jumping in the net and getting about the wall of the tank they realise they are in a french restaurant about to be prepared.

In skit 2 we see the chefs legs on the floor as he has died. Wilbur prods him to see if he's okay, then runs off. Two snails who have been watching comment on the situation. Sound clip 2: http://www.moviesoundclips.net/sound-clip.php?id=3909

In skit 3 Wilbur sees a chance to impress Joan. When he sees an oncoming car he runs across the road and jumps in front of the car making it look like he's been hit by it when it actually misses him. Geoff runs over to help Wilbur just to find out it was a scheme to get Joan's attention. Sound clip 3:  http://www.moviesoundclips.net/sound-clip.php?id=527
