'Journey of Gigas'
I will be undergoing a project to create an animation for a made up animation festival with a fantasy theme. i have written the brief myself using guidelines to help me.
My basic story is of a lonely giant who is stumbled upon by a boy and they become friends. There is a 45 second (+/-%) length to this animation. The title of this short animation is 'Journey of Gigas', Gigas is the name of the giant and is what giant translates to in Latin.
Mood Boards
Trees
This mood board is more for computer made trees to help me with actually making the trees in 3D.
More Trees
This mood board more directed at real trees to help me with coming up with the design of the trees.
Environment
This mood board is the sort of scene i am looking to create. The sort of environment i am thinking of is an open field with a tree line showing some sky as well.
Environment
My story idea will take place at sunrise so i have compiled this mood board to get a feel of a sunrise.
Atmosphere
This is a mood board i put together to get a feel for the atmosphere i want with strong light beams bursting through the trees.
Magic
This mood board is for magic. I feel it is important to include magic of some sort to intensify the fantasy genre.
Character - Giant
This is a mood board for the giant in my story.

T-Pose - Boy
This is the T-Pose for my boy.
Character - Giant

T-Pose - Giant
This is the T-Pose for my giant.
Expressions - Giant
These are a range of expressions that i can use to help me when animating.
Environment
Thumbnails
This is my first set of thumbnails.
This is a refined set of thumbnails.
And this is my final set of thumbnails. The story starts with the giant walking into view with his head down and looking sad. he then hears something and turns round only to be bumped into by a boy who was chasing a bug while looking through a magnifying glass. The boy falls to the ground but almost instantly sees a friend in the giant because he is too innocent to be scared. The giant then smiles down at the boy and the giant takes the boys hand an they walk off together. The giant then decides to show the boy some of his magic and makes a magical light orb appear then move around the boy and disappear. the two then walk away into the 'sunrise'.

Production
Giant
This is the start of my modelling for the giant. i have made the base material green because that is the colour he will be once textured.
This is the giant now fully modelled in a T-Pose.
This is my giant with his final texture on.
This is a close up of my giant to show more clearly the skin texture.
This is him now with a skeleton.
...and now fully rigged.
This is a loop of my giant smiling.
This is a walk cycle for my giant.

This is him fully textured and in a test pose i used to weight map.
This is my walk cycle for the boy.
Environment
Tree
This is my first attempt at creating a 3D tree.
This is now the tree, not to be mistaken for a mushroom!, in its final 3D state.
now this is the tree fully textured and ready to be put in a scene.
This is now my trees placed in a scene with a ground plane. the ground was done by just adding a noise modifier to it to make the bumps.
This is two scenes now. The one in the background is meant to be a sunrise and that is what the light is, the sun.
This is the final sunrise scene with mountains placed in as well. the mountains were also created by adding a noise modifier to half a sphere.
This is my final animation to finally conclude the journey of Gigas.
