Character Development

When you create your characters, keep in mind the story structure that your storyline must follow to be sure you have characters to help in events like the twist, rising action, conflict, etc.

You may not use characters you made for the Illustrator tutorials (e.g. Panda) or ones you made in the past. Of the four characters, you will be a live character in your story using the green screen effect.

When you create your character, try to give him or her a somewhat significant role (does not have to be the main character). The more involved and interactive he or she is with the story and characters, the better. Your character should be a unique character (do not be your normal personality or voice and feel free to dress up).

Create character profiles for each of your four top characters (three plus you as a character) by copying the bold title's below and write in the content for each (not in bold).

From the previous checkpoint when you had to sketch out character ideas, update your sketches with each character in a different body position and add color. Attach photos of your three character sketches as attachments in the order of your characters numbered above (good example). Also, dress up according to the type of character you are going to be and take a photo (attach).
