For my Unit 5: Animation assignment I was set the
challenge of creating an original one minute, hand-drawn animation. Out of the ‘box’ I drew my twocomponents:
Demeanour – “The Dying”
Object – “Candlestick”

I started by finding as many influential images
using websites such as Google Image andDeviantArt.
The following three slides show my Influence Maps
where the best of the reference pictures are placed.

The first holds images of existing candlesticks in
both modern andcontemporary design to aid
with the creation of mycharacter.

The second map containsdeath/dying related images.Mostly I found statues and
black and white photography.
Statues and this photographystyle represent dying so well.They depict life but are frozenat that point without colour.

This final map came later in the process after I had
decided on a story. Iwanted to show as muchlife as possible before the
predetermined fate of myCandlestick was met so I
chose to incorporate dance.

To further my resources I conducted my own
research in to candles and how the flamelooks from different angles and also how thelight disperses against surfaces.
To follow are the photographs I took for
reference and a video compilation of the filmsI took of the flame movement.

I decided that my characters, a male and a female
candlestick, would have a traditional design to them. With the limitation of 1 minute it was
important the audience could decipher what the objectwas at first glance. They would also have to be the
same design, so they were a matching pair, butsubtly different so their gender was clear for theaudience also.

I had designed the candlesticks with legs because I felt I’d have had more freedom to express the emotionsof my story with the addition of leg gesture andmovement. Right before I began the first frame of my animation I had a discussion with Tutor Meg
that brought me to the realisation that they didn’tadd to, only hindered my story. The main
expression of emotion would come from the arms andbody. The complications of a three-legged walk cycle
could compromise the aesthetics of my animation if I got it wrong.The following slides show the redesign and the final
character turnaround sheets.

This digital painting wasdrawn straight over one of myinfluence images for dance. I
wanted to use the dancersbodies to help define how my
candlesticks were shaped. Thegenders are clearlydistinguishable so finally Iwas able to transpose theseshapes into my designs.

I sketched out my candlestick performing someof his dance movements and tried to create the
illusion of fast movement using expressionlines.

my character. I began using a person. After that the transition into a candlestick comes easy.

In order to make a candlestick walk I first had to define what his leg/foot could do.
The first three slides show the original
candlestick design, with the three legs. It thengoes on to show the same working out for the re-design.

Now we’ve reached the heart of the animation, the story. My first idea was of a candlestick
reciting a Shakespearian death scene but I finally landed on this one. It created the
wonderful fantasy that the lighting a candle
brings the candle to life; as the candle dies out,as does the candlestick.
