week 7 character design

I did some studies on pandas, their movements, patterns, etc. Then I develop my character design, I aware that panda with longer arms and legs will look better when I animate.

week 6

Animation Style

the Dínamo Digital studio - Brazil

I found that the style of few of their works are exactly what I want to do, like more cartoon characters and colourful backgrounds.



Title: Malu
Director: Ricardo Carelli
Agency: Santa Clara




Title: Meus Prêmios 2007
Director: Ricardo Carelli / Ricardo Fernandes

This is a promo for the annual Brazil awards show. I really like the rhythum of the music and the little dancing characters. The jelly-like creatures move and walk funny, they interact each other in the scenes. The colours work so well!




Mika "Lollipop" music video
Director: Bonzom

The black wolf character in this mv is nice! I love the part the girl was being swallowed and actually seeing the bones of the wolf. Interesting pop up texts which match the voice.

Character design

some photos of pandas from "getty images"

My initial concept is to create a 2D animation about pandas - a funny story. My idea wasn't come from the semi-permanent (the edugapanda), I have been thinking to make an animation of panda for a long time!
