Dressing the Characters and Facial Expressions

As we were using fruit as our actors we had to consider how, and what we were going to use to create the facial expressions. After gaining feedback from our audience we decided to stick the facial expressions to the fruit - almost in the style of Mr Potato Head from the Toy Story film franchise.

I think this worked quite well, as it amplified the madness to the concept of living fruit, but also gave it a look that made it quirky, which should hopefully allow for the audience to really connect with it on an emotional level.

By attaching the facial expressions to the fruit, it allowed for easy changes to be made to the expressions when animating it. Furthermore, we created other facial expressions that we can switch between quite easily when necessary, which I think will really add to the overall quality of our animation.
