Mama is baking a panda cake. Now a Panda cake is a special cake, it's not like any other you've eaten. A story near and dear to my heart, one I read often as a child,
Rosalie Seidler's Panda Cake. A story about two brothers off to do shopping so that their mother can bake a wonderful cake thats "High and Light, and not too sweet" As a homage to this story I plan to animate it.
Animation preparation: Step 1, Character studies and Ideation
That story already has wonderful illustrations and I don't want to even try to imitate them. So I'm using my tradition way of characterization by looking at like animals, distorting and minimizing details. So I present the first round of characterization, mainly just trying to feel out each individual character.
