Ratatoulle is a really interesting animated film to me. I really enjoy the atmosphere and colour scheme of the film, because it all ties in with the setting of the film and also the characters themselves. When I researched into the character designs for the movie, I came across the concept art for the feature as well. I did not realise that there was a practice that focused mainly on creating and understand light in a scene.

I not only really like the colours used in these pieces, but also how much the lighting affects to mood of the scene as well. i knew that lighting was important, but I did not realise that it was considered so in depth and so early on in the production process of an animated feature.
I also find the process of creating sculptures of the characters really interesting as well, because it helps to gain an understanding of the characters facial features, and how they utilised expression to depict their emotions.
Creating sculptures is also a key practice in the design process because it helps to translates the 2D images into the 3D world in a practical way. By creating 3D sculptures of characters, a character designer then can create digital drawings from the sculpture, focusing on the colour schemes and how the colours react with the shading from the sculptures.
If I was to continue using MAYA and software like it to create animations, I will definitely consider this practice as a way of understanding the features and contours of a characters body and face.
