animator of the bear for first half animation |
In order to show the weather of “melting hot” at daytime and “freezing cold” in nighttime, we are aiming to exaggerate the change of skin color of the bear character to resonate with the weather change. We combined the concept of two animals – Polar Bear and Brown Bear in our character ideation stage.
“An anthropomorphic polar bear living at snowy environments is the protagonist of the weather forecast. The changes in weather would affect his appearance, undergoing skin transformation dramatically, which is melting a polar bear skin from white to brown. The animation would end with a mysterious open-ending, such storytelling technique is expected to impress the general audience and convey them the weather information seamlessly. The bear also served as audience’s emotional projection for resonance, which is helpful for audience to aware of today’s weather while ensuring the forecast is attractive and memorable for all walks of lives. ”
