RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We have conducted a deep research on colour in our project, which reveals how color matching can intrigue people's interest and curiosity. As the studies of dynamics is significant on creating animation, we will imitate the motions, which would be a strong reference for animators to further develop and refine the animation. We finalize the animation through consistant research between the relations of time, distance and speed.
CHALLENGE: As this is a non-profit project, with the insufficiency of funding, we had to put all our work force to finish the project in a short time and the toughest part is the scene production. We cannot directly present what we have in our minds because it will overlook the variety of design elements and the aesthetics of the project. Therefore, we have made a lot of efforts on concept art design in the early stage and tried a lot of color matching. Besides, it is quite difficult to tell the story in the abstract aspect.
