The first one is "Wind in the Willow" by Kenneth Grahame. Unfortunately I haven't read this book but I tried to get the feeling of the story reading the synopsis and that was the result.
The next one is "The Jungle book" by Rudyard Kipling. I chose a palette with greens and oranges. I also, in general, like to use the white (blank) spaces for composition purposes. to finish I scratched with the palette knife for a final touch.
"The Sea, The Sea" by Iris Murdich. Was quite difficult not to be obvious. I mixed lots of shades of blue and some of them aren't too mixed to give this 3d sense.
"Inferno" by Dante Alighieri. Basic used shades of reds also not much mixed and in this case I used water for effect.
"An Omelette and a Glass of Wine" by Elizabeth David. Light and dark blue for background. two abstract shapes makes the omelette (tons of yellow) and the wine (tons of red).
And that i it... was fun to make those, hope you like it...
(Sketching key frames 1-22) I started sketching my key frames just to have an idea of what I was thinking.. By the way It's not a literal interpretation of the poem..
(Yes.. That was the first attempt for the first idea...)
I did change it a lot and add lots more frames and that is the result.
As you can see I tried to play with the timing to give a more realistic feeling to the animation and worked... (yeeey..) now that I got the idea right and have the key frames for that I just need to add more "in between" frames to it.
And that is the result:
132 frames in total. Next step is colouring but not all the animation, i want to make it in grey tone and make the cups blue.
