Role-Mentor
I worked with
Elise on "Beauty and the Horse", a version of Beauty and the Beast from the
Netherlands. We found it on the fairy tales website that was given to use by
our instructor. Being that our story was from the Netherlands, we thought it
would be perfect to use Vincent Van Gogh as our inspiration for our color
palette, who was a Dutch artist. Not only was he a wonderful choice for colors
but he also acted as our influence for the style of our animation. Since we
were also dealing with a story that has a horse in it, we also used Franz Marc
as inspiration as well. He was the artist that did the "Blue Horses". At first
I was really nervous because at first no one wanted to work on our story...but we
got two great students to work with us. Sadly enough today one of our students
was sick already sick so he could not be with us when we introduced the project.
The boy that was sick was the same one that I worked with him the first day. Our
other student was a good worker. She was amazing! She created and designed all
of the characters the first day; she also made sure to use the color palette to
create the characters.
Here is our color palette that we were working with:
Here are the characters meet Father, Beauty, Horse, and Prince:
