Basically every day was the same. I would suit up, get on the bus at the same time everyday, go into the office and start the same routine all over. Then one day, I found myself sitting at the back of the bus, looking at all these people getting on and off, everyone of them in a variation of the identical monochromatic suit. And I thought, \u2018Underneath that same suit, would their sensibilities and personalities be the same too?\u2019 It was a sobering thought. From that day on, I kept on reflecting on what my dream used to be as a child and how I loved to draw and watch cartoons since childhood. Eventually, I quit my job in marketing. I walked away from a career I had been building for 7 years and decided to start my studies in animation in a new country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_27123\" style=\"width: 390px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DOOSUN.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27123\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DOOSUN-380x271.jpg\" alt=\"Doosun Shin\" width=\"380\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doosun Shin<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Fox Tale<\/em> came from a chance encounter with an unusual bunny toy, can you tell me a little more about that and the story&#8217;s development?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am always observing things and being inspired by real life. For this particular piece, the inspiration came from watching my daughter play with clay animals. I saw how tickled she was by detachable body parts; she would take the eyes off of one animal and attach them to another, the tail off of one and stick it on another. Watching her made me remember the photo of an interesting bunny doll with a fun tail that I had once taken in a toy store. Everything clicked, and with these two motifs coming together, I began writing a story about forest animals that swap tails with one another. After writing a rough draft of the story, I actually fashioned a giant fox tail and let my daughter play with it. The entire process crystallized the personalities of Mr. Fox and Mr. Bunny in my head, allowing me to bring the whole story to completion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_27124\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/inspiration.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27124\" class=\"wp-image-27124 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/inspiration-620x432.jpg\" alt=\"Inspiration for the story development\" width=\"501\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inspiration for the story development<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>How did you develop the characters for the story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I started with just a rough idea of the main character. Before writing the whole story for the short film, I imagined this character in a specific setting interacting with objects in the surrounding environment. I asked myself how Mr. Fox would react to a mirror, given how enamored he is of his own tail. If he found a number of beautiful tails lying around, what would he do with them? I answered these questions on paper by drawing a few storytelling images. The drawings made the character come alive visually and allowed me to put the puzzle of the story together, image by image. In time, it became very clear to me who Mr. Fox was as a character\u2014a vain teenager who is callous about others\u2019 feelings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_27125\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IDEA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27125\" class=\" wp-image-27125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IDEA-620x360.jpg\" alt=\"Early idea sketches\" width=\"501\" height=\"291\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Early idea sketches<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>The characters you designed are adorable with lots of appeal, what influences have you brought into your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I wanted a story that would be family-friendly and which would appeal to children in particular. After completing the story, I researched a ton of Fox and Bunny character designs including illustrated books for children. To approximate children\u2019s proportions, I kept the height to head length ratio of the characters at four to one, and used simple lines and color scheme to enhance the effect of creatures\u2019 cuteness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_27126\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/character_exploration.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27126\" class=\" wp-image-27126\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/character_exploration-620x401.jpg\" alt=\"Early character explorations\" width=\"501\" height=\"324\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Early character explorations<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>After you wrote and storyboarded the film, when you moved into production did you do all the work yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yes, I did everything in the pipelines except for music and voice acting. I really enjoyed being in charge of all creative decisions. But one thing I\u2019d like to caution other artists about doing a single- person project is the importance of time management. To make major decisions about each milestone and keep to the production schedule took a lot of discipline, because you are beholden to no one but yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_27120\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/final_character_fox.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27120\" class=\" wp-image-27120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/final_character_fox-620x401.jpg\" alt=\"Final design of Mr. Fox\" width=\"501\" height=\"324\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Final design of Mr. Fox<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What aspects of the modelling\/rigging of the character did you feel were most important or challenging?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I was trying to make appealing characters and model characters while keeping their silhouette, shape and line simple and clear from any perspective. I also view <em>Fox Tale<\/em> as a kind of pantomime, where characters\u2019 poses and expressions are central to the storytelling. So, I did a bunch of sketch passes and tested them out in 3D, going back and forth between modeling, rigging and animation.<br \/>\nOne of the biggest challenges was adding special rigging to the characters in a few specific shots in order to make them more expressive and visually interesting. I used the technique, for example, in the shots where Mr. Fox is face down on the ground and when Mr. Fox is playing with a peacock tail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_27130\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RRR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27130\" class=\" wp-image-27130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RRR-620x273.jpg\" alt=\"L-R: Reference, animation and final image\" width=\"500\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27130\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L-R: Reference, animation and final image<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What does your daughter think of the film?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am very happy to report that my daughter LOVES <em>Fox Tale<\/em>. Because Hannah watched the entire process unfold and was part of its creation, I think she was able to enjoy the final product a lot more when it came out. She watches it over and over, and never seems to tire of it. In the end, Hannah\u2019s approval means more to me than all the invitations I have received from prestigious animation festivals worldwide, though I am tremendously honored, of course.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>Fox Tale<\/em> has been doing well in festivals, have you managed to get to many and what has the audience response been like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I attended a couple of animation festivals. The audience responses vary. Usually, children laugh out and have fun mimicking Mr. Fox and Mr. Bunny while adult seem to show a few different types of response. Some enjoy the film as young audiences would, but some take pity on Mr. Fox. A few have said that that the film is scary, which I found very interesting.<br \/>\nAs for official reviews, my favorite came from the 13th Fantoche International Animation Film Festival in Switzerland. \u201cUnexpected ending. Frequently amusing and sometimes mysterious, they inspire us to think about the world we live in. It shows us that short films are an excellent platform for learning life lessons\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_27131\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/3d_model.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27131\" class=\"wp-image-27131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/3d_model-620x349.jpg\" alt=\"3d_model\" width=\"501\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3D modeling of Mr. Fox<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What are you working on now, and what are your plans for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I work as an animator in the United States.
