Art Style
For our skits we want to aim for a theatrical, paper cut style. So, we've been looking at various theatre sets and paper crafts as inspiration, this should help us in the concept stage to further define our vision of our animation set up. Since we are restricted to certain things in maya, it's reasonable aiming for this sort of set up as it is simplified enough to be easy to work around.

Swimming Act
For the Swimming act we wanted to approach a safe environment so we looked at indoor and out door swimming pool's something that is quite public and safe so our act isn't so harmless and the skits punchline can make sense.

Robbing Act
The Robbing act, for this skit our intended atmosphere is quite roughed up and dark but the skit withholds it's silliness. It's important we keep in mind the cliche of a robber with the striped shirt and mask so his role is recognisable, we are mainly focusing on the corner of streets and alleyways so our robber has a way of jumping out onto the scene and along with out art style it's functional.

Airport Act
The airport act, we've been looking at security baggage check areas and the airport atmosphere itself, our intended idea is to have the airport setting like any other, these images will help us get a clear understanding of what a security check up area looks and how it functions along with additional videos of the process.

The Wrong Response to a Backfired Mugging - Production Art

Collaboration - Live Action Reference

  This is our acting reference from our lessons with Dan. Our tutorial with Dan led us to changing some aspects of our animation. The main change was that the old lady character is now Mary Poppins, so that there's some logic to how the bag can fit all these objects. Also, now we can plan out our animation and figure out the movements of the characters.
