Creating my list of processes throughout this project helpled me to realise I could do with a hand in creating textures. I asked my friend Tracey Feeney to create me some textures, I showed her the research I had done and showed her the style I was hoping to achieve, I asked Tracey if she would create me a mud texture which I would use on the ground of my playground, I explained that it would be half covered in grass to give the effect it was dying. I also asked Tracey if she would create me a glass texture which I could use on all my buildings, I showed her my storyboard and first pass animatic and told her I would need some cracks to give the effect of a broken window. Finally I asked Tracey if she would create me one destroyed building for my background, which I would place behind my modelled buildings, again I showed Tracey the styles I liked and explained the outcome I was trying to achieve.
Tracey Feeney asked me to create the rain for her film, she is doing a 2d piece using Photoshop and then using Aftereffects to animate. Tracey's short film is based on the men at work sign, this piece of animation will consist of a small work area on a street, the silhouette of the man in the road work sign comes to life and dances in the rain to a singing in the rain sound track. The piece is very cartoony and Tracey would like to keep to the same style for the rain, I was shown the animatic and storyboards and I had a fair idea of what she was hoping to achieve.
