Barking Birds Studio takes place at AKV St. Joost, Den Bosch. As a part of our development, we needed to create a full work team. Sharing responsibilities in the group and delegating task. The creation of this studio carried out a model for the develop our learned skills.

Barking Bird Studio's personality has an aura of experimental 2D, mixed media, weirdness, and humor. In the making-off, we made a table between Ender, Stephie, and Iulia to clarify the focus of our brand. Iulia wanted it to be 2D, experimental, and non-narrative. Ender wants its narrative, character base and, Stephie wants it, mix media and 2D as well. But finally, we agree on having a nice correlation and integration of our ideas. ​On the right are the logo designs.

The studio had several members, Stephie, Iulia, Ender, Thomas Van Deelen and Yao Yao. As a part of our professional practices, we had to do various animated projects and create concept art for possible future projects. Among the projects, there was a special one that caught my attention. In this one we need to develop everything from and have a duration of 35 seconds. The main purpose of this project it was to present and introduce different artists, showcasing their artwork at the Playground Festival 2019, in Utrecht, Netherlands. We need to create this animation video as part of our task.

Creating the storyline, we were looking to develop something funny, cartoonish, and attractive. A way to present each artist humorous and original.
On the left we have some contributions from all the participants.

For the character design, we choose a woman design who is big and strong. Also name as tattoos all over her body but the curious thing is these are the names of the different artists we have to showcase for Playground Festival. Spicy, right?​

Color Palette, Stephie does the art director's signature for this project. She chooses a pastel color palette for the scenery, and red/hot pink for the color skin of the main character. Each scene was colored with pastel gradients and soft green for plant leaves. The soft green was a subtle color that could stand out in each scene by breaking up the gradients a bit. On the right side of the screen there are some images that show better.
