Week 09 - Class Notes

HOMEWORK

Live Action Project

- Pick an Animated Movie/Show
  - Pick 3 characters to design
  - Stick with the principle story of the Movie/Show
     - You can change the setting/time period if it makes sense
     - You can change the gender of the character if it makes sense
  - Research the Movie/Show setting/time period (either the original one or the one you're purposing)
    - Think about the technology of the time (buttons, zippers, textile, etc)
- Pick your Actor/Actress to play the role
  - Pick age appropriate actors/actress
  - Pick an ethnicity that doesn't conflict with the story (ie, don't pick an Italian Actress to play as Mulan in China)
  - Also bring in references of your Actor/Actress
 - You can also research on something that will add that 10% secret sauce to the overall look and feel
 - Have at least 6 pages of reference and research material for the time period/setting/clothing
Optional (but recommended)
 - 3 pages of rough sketches of your characters in the style you interested in doing
   - Sketch over the photos of your actor/actress

TIPS
- Pick a movie that has a great cast of characters and possible costumes availability
- Obviously the story is important, but chose movies/show that have the most potential in having a vary degrees of reinterpreting the character's outfit
