Context
This project was completed over a weekend during an animation jam organized at my school. I worked with three animation students who were primarily responsible for character design and all the character animations. I took care of most of the backgrounds and tentacles using Blender and cartoon shaders.
Challenge
The proposed theme was to create an animated short film to encourage people to protect themselves against AIDS. The challenge lay in time management since the short film had to be made in 2 days, team management especially since I didn't know the students I worked with for this project, and project management itself, which involved inventing a relevant story and designing a well-functioning storyboard.
Solution
What really helped us move forward was creating a shared moodboard of the graphic style we wanted to adopt for the entire animation. This allowed everyone to better align their choices regarding colors, backgrounds, and drawing styles.
