I needed to go back to storyboarding in order to think of new ways to animate my characters. Thinking about what Jamie said, I tried to identity common themes or feelings across my characters so that my 3 gifs could work as a series. The ideas that seemed to have the most potential was following this idea of being grumpy, or tired - this seemed to work well across the bear, fox and cactus. The problem, though, its that I'm still getting distracted by a load of different characters or processes that I want to do, but realistically I will not have time to do them all. I think I just need to start making - focus on making 1 gif to start with - and then develop from there...
I decided to also revisit the idea of doing something with the hat characters I made in the first week of the brief. Matt's suggestions for animating the other day being simple - such as making something bigger then smaller, rotating, constructing and deconstructing - gave me a couple ideas as to what they could be doing. I also like the idea of making something similar to Luca Mainini's work. I feel like in terms of creating a gif these would maybe be a good place to start.
