Merchandising: Susie Doozy Plushie

Here is a Susie Doozy plushie I made as part of the merchandising segment of my project. I am still deciding on whether to keep her just the way she is or to make her into a key ring/cellphone chain for more versatility. I am happy that she turned out very close to the initial 2d design. Felt is a very easy material to work with.

Titles (Short Version) - Motion Test

Here is a short title sequence I created using After Effects and Premier. I made the credits using Premier because it has a feature called the Title Designer that I never used before. Although, the feature provides a lot of ways to edit text, it gives me very limited animation options, so from now on I will probably edit the whole thing in After Effects.

As for the titles itself, I am very happy with the way it is turning out. It has the feel that I am looking for. I am learning a lot of things with this activity, one of which, is synching video to sound, as title design involves designing to a rhythm. 

Final Characters

Here are the final character designs that I am using in my project. Susie Doozy is the protagonist and the main character. She is a sweet, innocent little girl with a knack for getting into all sorts of clumsy situations. She is a frequent victim of Bad Tyke Jake (error in the name above), a notorious neighborhood bully. When Bad Tyke Jake gets especially mean, Susie cannot handle him all on her own and seeks advice from the mother of all wisdom, Mama Doozy. Mama Doozy is a 50s style housewife but Susie sees her as more of a superhero, as Mama always comes to her rescue when she is in need. I tried to get these qualities across in her design. 

With all of the character designs, I tried to keep them as simple as possible so that they read well in different situations and mediums.
