The Buddha's birthday contest's item contain Creative Goods, Graphic Card and Animation short film. Without a doubt, I chose short animation because I have not confidence for my paint skill.
I spent one day construct my story, layout and characters. At first, My story is Buddha's life that distribute Buddha was born in India and he was a prince. He had a wealthy family when he was a child so he didn't know what is poor life, disease and died until he went to village. He started his ascetic life and became respectable Buddha.
Furthermore, I designed the characters. I collected some of about Buddha characters and refered to before awared works. I desided my style is cute characters. I think the cute characters is smooth-faced and mass people embrace cute and simple style.
Next, I use simple layout and simple action because I think the contest is serious and formal activity for Chinese Buddha's High Young Adult. Although creative and funny is important for a animation but some have to consider what is the subject and theme. I chose conservative way to show my short animation.
To sum up, the layout and color are also very important for a animation film. Although your story and characters are vey well. If the final film's layout and color is very ugly and inharmonious. The film also not a good film. After this contest I understand that making a film have to step by step.
