Characters.

There were five key characters in this animation - the Dedicated Follower of Fashion, mod girls, mod boys, hippie boys, and hippie girls. Each had multiple iterations but I have included just one iteration for each.

Pen.

Upon deciding not to progress with the paper idea I went back to the drawing board, as such, and started sketching more ideas for the Dedicated Follower of Fashion.

Here are some pen drawings of that process.

Paper.

The second installment of my Dedicated Follower of Fashion process: paper cut outs.

After pouring over this amazing book of children's illustrators I thought I might make the animation completely D.I.Y. and handmade. I was particularly inspired by Istvan Schritter and so decided to make a mod girl (Twiggy, pretty much) and a mod guy/potential Dedicated Follower of Fashion. I also experimented with how to create a set, I have included some iterations for the Carnaby Street set idea. There is a lyric stating that the Dedicated Follower of Fashion 'thinks he is a flower' and the visualisation of this is also included.

Here is some of the results from that before I decided against it.













Additionally, I experimented with what these would look like as animations and made quick GIFs.
