Project 3 - Uncanny

We were given the main brief and the last project for the 2nd semester. The project is to do an animatronic character that will be filmed for 60 seconds and has a storyline on it. Our group consists of Me, Tim and Amos. My role for this is to develop the motion of the character and program it. First thing I would do for this project is to decide the movement of the character that we would make. I think that this would be one of the functions that's need to focus on because this would be also one of the results that's going to develop the character. When we talked about making the character Tim had something in his mind about the character of what we're going to make. He tells about a worm like creature or a tentacle monster which wiggles and moves in a dangerous manner. However I thought about researching it in other materials so we could have something that could use as a reference for our character. I went to the library and look upon weird creatures or anything that would be likely the same as what Tim had thought about. I immediately went to the film section and browse on anything about character development. During my search, I thought about tentacles as like plant like creatures. I went to the plant section of the library but nothing much about I could use. Then I went back to the film section and found a book which is "The Art of Avatar".  I looked on it and found some art pictures of the creatures in the film Avatar. At some point I found this page where there's some pictures of the plants that was made in the film. I immediately borrow it and showed it to the group. They like the idea of the plant like creature and so we decided to make a plant creature that moves and will probably have senses like a human does.
