characters

Image
The medical soldiers that I copied were from a toy soldier look like this was the best copier could fine to use of a WWI accurate medical personnel debt fit the part perfectly in my infographic peace so then I traced over it to make a abstract peace the diadem could move around or manipulate to make multiple characters that more than fit the part I needed them to play. I chose some dead bodies from a beach photo of some dead bodies on a beach that I would use later in Multiple scenes as my general dead bodies as I had a lot of scenes that required bodies lying about on the battlefield or just around the as I had a lot of scenes that required bodies lying about on the battlefield or just around the camp as casualties of War or casualties of the flu   The two civilians I took from a photo that was taken during the World War of several men and shows two of them of different stitches and different builds so I could have a somewhat arrange of civilians that looked similar...

German and British soldiers

Image
During my research I found that I needed two types of soldiers the German and British soldiers as a standard use for the central powers and the allied forces so I used to copies of each soldier and made my pieces then changed the British soldier to how I needed it making another version that could sit down and hold a letter not just a gun

telegram

Image
My telegram started off as a postcard that was then before a letter but due to the fact that the handwriting of that time was a joined up San serif style of writing it made the Script illegible and unusable Suit internet to rectify this I chose to use a telegram model to use in place for my postcard/ letter the whole point of having the letter as the moving cards in between each seem was to reinforce the idea of the film to be a silent era type film I found that doing this added to the authenticity of the peace and made the telegrams look like part of the scene with no form of problems I even found that the telegrams worked better than having the letters as it allowed a story to be put in with the facts and infographic material

camp

Image
After doing research into medical centres in WWI, blood centres and the camps that were used during the Spanish flu that killed a lot of the soldiers I found the perfect camp and one of my backgrounds the start using for my project after seeing that I can use the camps no problems I then traced over and did a abstract copy of the camp as in in some of my own details and filling in some of the details that were not in the photo so I can have a complete picture to use for my 1 minute piece.

base image

Image
All the photos above I used as my base photos to make my abstract animation pieces as I was basing my animation stile on a 2.5 D animation.

Music

Image
I chose the style of music to be silent film piano but in a dark ominous fashion so I could have the right mood set for my peace and the right feel for my peace I also chose this style of music as that was what was been used in cinema at the time

toyToy Soldiers

Image
All attempt at using Toy Soldiers for a stop animation peace did not go as planned as they looked like a joke piece or part of a Pixar Animation that did not suit the subject matter I have so I discarded said idea and changed my idea to be a loose 2.5 d animation.
