Design de personagens: uma releitura e reconstrução do conto de fadas "Chapeuzinho Vermelho"

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to develop the characters of the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" based on a retelling set in the backlands of Ceará during the drought of 1915. The theoretical framework addressed concepts related to animation, visual narrative, the drought of 1915, and character design, with emphasis on aspects of psychological construction, silhouettes, form, pose, and expressiveness. The creative process was guided by the methodologies proposed by Don Seegmiller (2008) and Sergi Càmara (2005), which structure the stages of the three phases into which the project was divided: "Foundation and Documentation Phase" and "Conception Phase," followed by the documentation phase, with the creation of the style guide. As a result, a style guide for the four conceived characters was developed for application in an animated film.
