Major Project - Video Reference
Kids have a very unique way of moving and walking. I tried very hard to find suitable video reference online, but I was not very successful.
Because I couldn’t just film random kids in the streets, I concentrated on observing them. There is a playground in my neighbourhood, which I took the time to visit a couple of times.
Apart from that, I also had a look at how children are depicted in other animations. (Alike)
And even limited animation, such as these kind of ‘cut out’ shows. (Charlie & Lola, Peg + Cat)
I learned I had to go for very loose movements and even more exaggeration, which I still find quite hard to do, because a) my movie is so full of subtlety and b) I am not an exuberant character myself.
