New Animatic

Here's a new version of the animatic...

Boss Animation

So here are the several versions I've done of the boss when he first sees the girl character making out with what he thinks is a real corpse.

Proof of Concept

So this is the style I would like to see the final film in.


Basically I want the backgrounds in the film to be washes like these. Here I was experimenting with different colors for the establishing shot.

Rough Expression Sheets

This boss character doesn't really have a wide range of expressions in the film; he's pretty much limited to neutral, wtf, and vomit.

Messing around with shadow and color.


Here's the rough turn-around of the minor boss character

And this is basically the size comparison of all the characters

Style

This is somewhat the the style that I want the final film to be in...but I'm still kinda experimenting.


And here is a rough turn-around for the guy, and a revised model sheet for the girl.

Rough Turn-Around

First rough turn-around of the girl character, and some other sketches.

Turning in Perspective

After failed attempts at just trying to draw the girl's head in perspective, I decided to actually sculpt a mini head to help me with the dimensions...and holy moly it helped SO MUCH! I highly recommend actually sculpting out designs to fully understand how they look in 3D.

The drawings at the top are pre-sculpture experience. Her head was not looking how I wanted it to...and I just could not get the whole turning-in-3D concept without having the physical piece in my hands.


And since this exercise was so helpful with the girl, I went ahead and tried it with the guy character. In my original designs I wanted him to have that little tuft of hair but after sculpting his head, I realized it will probably just end up being a hassle in animation. But who knows, I may bring it back lol.

Sketches

Here are some early sketches of the girl and guy characters. Also some ideas for the funeral home.



I wanted the girl's profile to look like the center left image, but turning that design in perspective will be the difficult part when I start animating her.

First Post!

So I finally manned up and decided to make some sort of documentation of the works in progress of my senior film with the working title of Flowers; and thus, this blog came to be!

First thing's first, here is the story reel of the film:
