Character Profile

My set task was to create the character profile. Although our characters are animation and will not be real people, i still had to give the character real life characteristics so the audience could relate to the personality of the character.

Name: Bill
Age: Various ages - From a baby until 30 Years old.
Nationality: British
Hometown: London
Siblings: Two Brothers
Height: 162cm
Weight: 9 Stone
Eye Colour: Blue
Hobbies: Football, Shopping, Reading, Cinema
Best Quality: Not giving up when wanting to achieve something.
Greatest Flaw: But can be lazy when wants to be!

Bill needs to be drawn in a lot of different positions. The first silhouette that we will see of him is when he is a baby, this will be shown as crawling. But even when he is crawling he needs to be drawn several times with the knee's and hands in different positions giving the illusion of crawling. As well as giving the illusion of walking as he grows up, other silhouettes of him standing still need to be shown, simple things such as looking down, looking up, looking the other way, etc. When he is in other countries doing activities such as sky diving and swimming, we need to have him in these positions as well. Making our main character is going to be quite time consuming as each different position needs to be very similar so it flows through fluently. Bill won't be wearing any clothes or anything, he will just be a blocked colour silhouette. But he will have eyes, this is to show emotion more clearly. So the audience will be able to see happy eyes when he's feeling happiness, sad eyes when he's feeling unhappy, etc. The other character is a female, she will appear throughout the story as well, she has the same concept of lots a blocked silhouette.
