Research

This is the inspriation i got for desgin the tittle page with the clouds, however my desgin the tittle comes from behind the clouds

Opening Tittle

Decided to design a short animation with a font that i liked for the opening tittle. Inspirtaion has been from dreamworks with the clouds in the forground and a background

Girl Growing Up

This is the cage going round as the girl starts to show, iv experimented with the speed off the cage moving and the colour off the background. Think the black one works the best as you can almost lose her growing with the white background Also i have moved her down as it would seem she is floating but not sure which one is the best so far.

Cage colours

possible cage desgin for group

Yellow Ballon opening scene take 2

With the first one the @cage really stood out as everything else was so bright. On this copy the clouds have been darkend along with the rock to make it seem more realistic

Yellow Balloon firs scene experiment

This is the first scene with the clouds moving, just need to put the cage in and maybe make the clouds abit darker so they become more noticeable

Yellow Balloon Backgrounds

Salvador Dali

This will be good research into the cage people i feel as it dosent really have any eyes just more skulls inside which i feel is quite effect way off drawing the "cage" people in our animation 
With these images im looking more at the back ground off these two pieces. I really like the clouds in the back off the boat picture as they seem quite unusual in a way and different from the rest. With the pictures with the clocks i like as it could be put into the animation where she goes into space and sees all the random objects.

The link above is about a guy called Icarus. Icarus is the son off Deaduls who felt they needed to get away from there island so they build some wax wings for them both to help them escape. This is the kind off same meaning as as our Story off the Yellow Ballon as the girl feels trapped inside her "cage" however we will differ from the story as the girl does not fall to her death from flying to close to the sun.

Yellow Ballon cage opening

With the last shot of the cage opening out like a flower id thought id look into some off how they opening. As one petal goes first and seems to break out, we could maybe look into one of the cage people falling first therefore paving a way for all the others to break out and fall.

Bowling ball drop reference

Looking at this it seems to bounce allot more than i expected it to bounce in the first place, After looking through other videos, i found a video off a person playing basketball with them which surpised me further as i thought they didnt really bounce at all.
