starting wind in the willows (unit 85)

Notes:
We will be working with the tales of Beatrix potter and costume design.
We will be working with a script as well which will help us developed.
'The characters referred to in the narrative should act out with mime or movement's
We watched videos as a reference e.g

This helped us to see what we should try to make,the costumes are made in such a way that they feels like they are real.Fur and textures look realistic as well.The theme of the video we watched  is ballet.Music was of course played in the back ground.

We also watched some one who talked about designs that were made and how they were made.This is the link to the video

In this video a professional costume designer talked about the process.
She spoke about how the costume interpreted the role and how important it was in the play.Also how you need to think about the fabrics and the design of the period.
Fabrics will help develop the story.

We were shown a trailer of the Wind in the willows production.In this the characters appeared to be more human but with very few characteristics.
The people appeared to be wearing boats and carts.

For future reference I shall have to watch some of the Wind in the willows animations.
This way I will get a better idea of the characters and how they act and what they wear.
Through out the animation no words were actually said and the animation was quite disturbing.
