Agatha Christie's Typewriter

A 1937 Remington typewriter used by Agatha Christie herself for many years.

I will be animating a typewriter for my character animation, as the typewriter was a huge part of Agatha Christie's working life as an author. The typewriter will type out various books from the famous Poirot series Agatha Christie became especially known for. 

Initially I designed a typewriter with a similar look to that of Agatha's, however since I have decided to animate the typewriter traditionally I decided to simplify the typewriter and reduce the keys and some of the line work. I felt this was an appropriate decision as it would be easier to trace and replicate than the first drawing.

Additionally, I think the audience will be able to relate much better with the book covers the typewriter will be typing out, as people won't really recognise the typewriter as Agatha Christie's alone. This makes the animation link in with my chosen character as the books are famous novels written by Agatha Christie herself.
