Red Bull Canimation Challenge post number one

First post for a while starting with a new challenge.

So starting on a new competition, were Red Bull launched Canimation, where they search for talented animators, and asked them to show us what they could do with a Red Bull can and our imagination. The rules are no longer than two minutes, style have to be either hand-drawn, CGI or stop motion. As the videos below shows.

And the tricky bit I've got only got 22 days (started on 25th October) to do an animation. So the deadline is 16th November.

Day 1: 25/10/11

Today I've started to look at pervious work I created in the past, for a curtain style I like to use for this project.









Day 3: 26/10/11

Been look at some pervious Red Bull adverts, to find out this there anything influence me for the animation.





Day 4: 27/10/11

Today I've looked VW bluemotion advert, enjoy the stop motion style of the piece, when drawing it onto paper, using the same colours (mainly blue colours). Also, I liked it when the paper goes left to right to create a kind of Tapestry style. Might use this in some of my ideas I want to develop with.



Also, I looked at Kristofer Ström short animations, which one of th videos was for a mobile phone ad. He uses stop motion and a hand drawn style which I liked. But I don't think this is a good idea to try within the time to create, more than likely go for hand drawn style for the competition.





Day 5: 28/10/11

Might look at Red Bull own Formula 1 team called Red Bull Racing and there leading driver Sebastian Vettel who won the Drivers Championship twice as an influence for the animation I may use for the competition.



End of post for now, new post soon. Bye.
