CUPofTEA

WHAT WOULD YOU DO, IF SOMEONE FROZE IN FRONT OF YOU?




Here is something I've learned this year: ideas come when you are not waiting for them, and that's what happened with "CUP of TEA". I was just drawing an old lady in my sketchbook, and then I tough she could have a granddaughter and then after some minutes I had the whole idea for the short... 




As we have only 1 month to developed everything, I continued working with the characters the way they come in the first drawings, I was also pretty happy with the style. So then, I took this characters and start story-boarding the film, we had only one day to do it so I used the Cintiq. Here, some of the drawings...




Before VFS I had already worked with Flash and I really like this software. So, coming back to this after a whole year of classical animation, paper and pencil was interesting. I felt now that the poses came much easier than before, the drawings were much better and in Flash I could have almost everything I had in classical, plus the CTRL+Z! I really enjoyed to animate this film, and it made me remember how much I like Flash.

For the Opening Titles and Credits I used a 50s graphic style like UPA, which I like a lot and in my point of view goes really well with Flash.
