P3

P3 Learners develop a new character for use in an animation, including:
a) character profile
b) character development
c) competent final character design

D1 The character design produced by learners conveys the character’s profile. Learners progress initial sketches to finished illustrations that show a range of the character’s activities, expressions and emotions in relation to the proposed profile.

A) Character Profile 

Name: Bandit the Trash Panda
Age: 6 Months

Physical:
Bandit the Trash Panda is chubby, very chubby. Getting up a flight of stairs is a task from hell for him. He always wears a bandana and the fur around his eyes make the shape of a mask worn by a vigilante. He is covered in three distinct colours of fur: Black, White, and Grey. A bright red cape and bandana keeps him from getting lost in a crowd. The colours of his fur are a lot bolder and vibrant compared to regular raccoons to help him stand out as a character. The dark fur around his paws make it look as if they are wearing gloves, and the dark streaks along the tail make it seem as if it's a spring or a pogo-stick.

Emotional:
Bandit the Trash Panda puts up a strong face but always ends up scared. Bandit has the similar emotional strength of Bender from Futurama. Bandit always ends up on top despite his ridiculous lack of skill. Thanks to his luck, Bandit makes his way through the journey relatively unscathed.
