Clay Model Yuri
This is a life size model of Yuri I did using modeling clay.
It is the same size he will be when he's made for the film. 140mm tall and his shoulders are 25mm wide.
I made this model to scale so I can scale the cardboard sets to the right size.

The Style
The main inspiration for the style in my film is collage like I discussed below. I would like to use a lot of mixed media.
The trees, benches, ben, fences, buildings.... All of the park scene will be flat cut-outs. Made from textiles, paper, card etc.
Yuri and the other human characters will be made in 3D from wire, clay, textiles etc.
This is the collage style that I am aiming to create...
This is an example of how I want the branches and leaves in the trees to look. I made this from a range of cardboard and papers.

First Anamatic
This is my first moving anamatic.
After showing a few people there are a few things I've noted from their response that I need to change.
1. People have said it'd a bit confusing at the start, some people think he comes across as a pevert hiding in a tree.
To clear the confusion I think I am going to experiment with a new opening sequence, of a book titled along the lines of 'A Beginners Guide to Attracting Nature' or 'How to Become One with Nature'... Doing this should make it clear that Yuri is not perving on things.
2. People are also confused by the bird's eye view shot of the man needing a wee when he's searching for somewhere to wee. I will most probably delete this shot all together. This will then give some time for the new opening shot.
3. I also feel that the very last shot of Yuri and his new tree friend could be better. Perhaps have the two trees holding hands.

Asthetic Inspiration.
The main inspiration for the asthetics and style I am interested in using is found in collage and cut-out animations.
'I Adore You' can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lChGJ9XrlHI
'Hello Antenna' by Veronika Samartseva and Anna Samo.
For example....
'Crossword' (2009) by Mirjam Baker and Michael Kren
I love the bright colours and 'childlike' style of this animation and would like to achieve this kind of look in my film.
'Crossword' can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXXcLvmc-SQ
Other collage themed animations I've been inspired by are 'I Adore You' by Dominique Bloink.

I like this kind of style because it is childlike and innocent looking. This is the kind of style I want my film to have.
