I
think every one of us must have some little secret when we were still a child,
and it was the main idea I want to share with the audience.
Therefore, in this
project, I designed three characters.
First, a boy. The little boy plays the
main character who owns a little secret.
And he represents people’s “childhood”.
Then, a father, who has the same secret with his son
when he was young.
And being the contrast to his son, the father shows that
even a grown-up has a buried secret in mind.
The last character is a giant
robot. Inspired by the Japanese animation-
My Neighbor Totoro ,
In this story, I selected
the robot to be a fictional character, only would the boy recognized him.
And I
decided the ruins of the factory to be the site of the whole story,
since it
provided the sense of mystery and which gave robot an appropriate reason coming
on the stage.
Additionally, to create a fairy- tale like scenery, I designed
the boy’s clothing with oldy style.
腳色設定上,我選擇像是龍貓一樣,只有主角知道有一個幻想中的角色
因為我很喜歡廢棄工廠的那種神秘感,所以我想在一開始用工廠當作
幻想角色會存在的地方,因此我想到機器人這個符合工廠條件又是幻想物的東西
再加上我希望能夠告訴觀眾每個人童年一定都有一個自己的秘密,
所以我將主角設為小男孩,而他爸爸則是擁有同樣的秘密,
除此之外,為了呈現童話感,主角的穿著也設定得比較復古
I
made two sceneries in this animation.
One was the little boy’s home, the other
was the ruins of the factory which was on the vast prairie.
In order to make
the comparison between these two spots,
I arranged the boy’s home to be in a
mess, it showed the boy was long for an adventure;
and the factory which
located on the vast prairie stably can give audience a sense of peace and free.
The
model of the factory was designed after the robot’s appearance.
場景上分兩區塊,一個是小男孩的家,另一個則是在大草原上的廢棄工廠
在安排上,我希望小男孩家是呈現擁擠而且混亂的狀態,因為相形之下,
靜靜躺在大草原上的工廠給人有一種不受拘束的感覺
而工廠的造型也是先設定好機器人的造型再去調整
