Character Design and Profile

From Left to Right Frank and Bruce

The main characters in the animation are The Henderson Brothers better know as Frank and Bruce Henderson. Frank is the younger brother he is more of a leader and more sensible than his brother. Bruce is the older more reckless brother, he is more violent and less predictable than Frank.

Luke is the victim and suspect in the animation. He owes Frank and Bruce money thats he's stolen from them. Luke was The Henderson Brothers driver in a bank heist, Luke double crossed them and took the money for himself. So Frank and Bruce capture and interrogate Luke to find out what he's done with there money.

Building The Set

The set I am building above is the interrogating room set. The whole animation focus around the interrogating room at the moment there won't be any other sets, all the animation will be about what happens in the interrogation room.

P3 Initial Planning

My Animation will be a short film about two thugs beating up and interrogating a guy who has taken the thugs money. For the film idea I got inspiration from Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, the interrogation scene in Reservoir Dogs was what really gave me the ideas for the film and the thug characters in my short film I have based the overall look and a bit of personality from Vincent and Jules from Pulp Fiction and Mr Blonde from Reservoir Dogs.
The Animation type will be Lego Stop Motion Animation because Stop Motion and Lego Stop Motion is something I would really like to do as a career and carry on doing them so I can get better and better. I also have done Lego Stop Motion before I did a 8 minute video for my BTEC Art course in year 11.
The style of the short film will be mostly crime focusing on the two thugs trying to find out where there money has gone. There will also be drama, gore and a bit of suspense in the interrogation part of the film.
The story follows two brothers called The Henderson Brothers but they are better know as Frank and Bruce. Earlier in the plot Frank and Bruce have robbed a bank, they successfully rob the bank but there driver Luke double crosses them and takes the money for himself. Few days later Frank and Bruce find Luke capture him and take him to a building to interrogate and beat up Luke to find out what his done with the money. They beat Luke to a inch of his life before he tells them where it is. He tells them that the money is in personal safe that he has at home but what Frank and Bruce don't know is that Luke's house is being monitored by a few of Luke's friends that work in the police force. Bruce goes to collect the money from the house while Frank stays with Luke. Bruce comes back with the money finding out that half of it is gone they beat up Luke further, while doing this the police from Luke's house arrive outside. Frank and Bruce shoot Luke and get the hell out of the building. It ends with hearing gunshots and yelling outside.

P3 Flash Animation

MAX THE AMAZING BALL JUMPER

To start I got the different stages of the man jumping off the Posthaven Blog I then imported them in to Adobe Flash. I started of with the first image for the first frame I then created a blank key frame for the second frame, I then put the second image on to this frame and I followed this step for all of the stages of the man jumping. To get the images in line with the last frame you can use a tool called onion skin that shows the previous frame very lightly so you can get the current frame in line with the last one. After I had finished with him jumping It was a bit too fast so I slowed it down by reducing the FPS to 18, I then added a blank frame after  every frame to slow it down even more. To add the ball I created a circle shape and then made it into a symbol by ctrl clicking it and clicking convert to symbol. To make the ball move I ctrl clicked it and pressed create motion tween and I then moved the ball layer on the timeline so it would go throughout the entire thing. To finish it off I then exported it and save it as an animation gif.
