For this 'Optimistic' character we wanted a more refined and elegant clothing style to contrast with the energetic, childlike animation. We decided that the character should be jumping over non-specific forms in an abstract world to keep the focus on the mood. As well as playing with the contrast between realistic and graphical elements, using more representational forms allows us to keep the setting open to any audience and create a dream-like world that everyone can identify with. Each time the character jumps they use a different pose to keep the energy high and the audience guessing.
