Ben
Ben is 10 years old who is the boy really likes Kung-Fu. His favorite character in Kung Fu is Luce Bee (like Burce Lee). He wants to make the move like Luce, so he started to learn Kung-Fu.
Mosquito
Moving in different size
Mosquito is a character like an old master who likes to tease the young kid. In the animation, this old master teaches Ben how to do Kung-Fu through teasing him.
- Layout Design -
All of the posters on the well is about his favorite Kung-Fu idol, Lusce Bee. I reference a lot of posters from the old 70's Bruce Lee Kung-Fu poster and magazine.
The story is happening in Ben's bedroom which is an attic. He has a lot of Kung-Fu relative decorations in his room such as the poster and the figure on the wardrobe.
I build the 3D model as a foundation of my layout, and design the lighting and paint over the 3D image as the final background in the animation.
