Research and Development - Research, Part 2


Pixel art 


I have always been interested in pixel art with old retro games and I have always admired the animation style that they had. I recently stumbled across a music video called White Flag by Delta Heavy. It reignited that passion and now I am looking forward to testing out some experiments in this unit.

the video itself is stunning with a fantastic colour pallet throughout and great attention to detail. the animations are smooth and in the style of a retro game. I really am a fantastic animation and the was they have used the transformation of the pixels to create different effects is mesmerising.






I want to try this in my won project and I have already started with a few experiments. I want to focus on the design but the clastic bob of the character withing the animation first before I start expanding my skills.

As you can see the character also has antlers and wisps coming from his chin, this was heavily inspired from Haku the white dragon from the Studio Ghibli movie 'Spirited Away.' Although I te...
