Inspiration

This past week has been all about looking for inspiration for my book and also for the animated version. I kept going back and forth on different ideas on how the video was going to look. I know I did not want to just record myself reading the book, even though that method would be easier. I want to challenge myself by created an animation that is interactive and fun to watch. After all, my target audience are little kids!

The book that I am going to shadow is called The Nuts:Bedtime at the Nuts by Eric Litwin and art by Scott Magoon.

I learned that Eric Litwin also wrote the series Pete the Cat which is another popular children’s book.

I also checked out Scott Magoon’s website and looked through his portfolio and his illustrations is absolutely amazing! I definitely want to incorporate his style of illustrating with mine because his work gives off a friendly and happy tone where as my portfolio is a little more simple and serious.

I am really excited for the next step of my project which is Character development!
