Practical Ideas

TO WHAT EXTENT ARE STEREOTYPES PREVALENT IN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN ANIMATION AND IS THIS A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE THING

What may I like to do?

- Character design
- expressions
- turnarounds (animated?)
- action poses
------------------> would all be good for portfolio and practice for the future.
Research;
Popular female chars in film, animation etc
Big films of 2014/big male chars ------ genderbend popular male characters as a start?
What females chars work?
Which don't?
Other redesigns that people have done?
Making female stereotypes 'better'? ---->>> how?


- Look at outfits, style of drawing, poses, situation etc. What could make a character more complex, and how could I do that? What sort of characters do I want to look at? Are there any that work well apart from their design?

Could the turnaround actually be animated? -----> How much time would I have for that, is it realistic?

* 3 designs count as substantial? 3 x 4 pages = 12 finished pages of character sheets plus development. Could I do this?
