Opening Pan

The first scene of my film has a lot going on. There will be rain. There will be lightning. Dissolves, Multiplanes, Character Animation, Cloud movement! All together I believe there is about 14 layers of things that go into the final. Here is just the painted background artwork. Another 20 layouts left to paint!

Sometimes I get bored, and sketch non film things.

Evil Sphinx

Some sort of Beaver-Elephant-Aardvark-Rabbit-Deer. Or B.E.A.R.D for short.

Title Design, and Random Anim

Here is the Opening Title Design for the film. I took the old design, and made it more 3D, and homemade, in a sense.

Yesterday, I didn't feel up to working on film, so I did a rough animation. It's just a straight ahead piece, done without a model sheet.

My Film Holiday!

School is finally on break. I will be at school painting backgrounds. :D

I got to draw my characters enjoying some christmas fun, for my coop christmas card!

Here are some of the backgrounds I've painted so far.

Inside the Science Fair:

At the Graveyard




More to come later!

Extra Film Designs

These are the extras in my film. The father and son combos.

I also redid some of the main characters hands. New zombies, and new Lloyds, guess who's is who's. lol

Judge and Zombie Model Sheets

I worked all hard and stuff, and now I got 2 more model sheets done. I even tackled hands and stuff, which apparently I learned how to draw sometime between last year and now.

Here's Principal Judge. Aka. adult Charlie Brown, or the human incarnation of a Number 2 pencil.

Zombie Dad!
I'll do another crack at Lloyd before the weekend.

Lloyd model sheets and a sketch

Animation begins next week, so model sheets are gonna be important. Here's my process.

First I took the best poses from my storyboards and cut them all together.

Then I drew up some heads and rotations to clarify his design.
Then, I had to check if my model works, so I did a little sequence of Lloyd trying to skip.

This last things just a sketch topic me and a couple friends were doing. The topic was a kid learning to joust.

Film Colour Script!

A taste of what the final film will look like. I just coloured the regular storyboards, and painted on some effects lighting.

Life-drawing

Various lengths, mediums and approaches. Yeah! I posted something!

Thanksgiving Double Feature!

Firstly, the post below this is new too, it's my film designs; exciting! But I had extra goodies, because somehow I'm ahead in film production milestones. So I started learning 3D for fun.

If anyone remembers this character lineup, it's now been cleaned up. Something I promised myself i would do last year.

And now, the chameleon in the top left is becoming a 3D character. I did the presculpt in mudbox, and am working on retopologizing it in maya. So soon enough he'll be real, lol.

but before I did that, I did some practice sculpts. They only take about an hour or 2, so I like to just whip up a character sketch and practice sculpting. This is a bear I designed.
And this is the Judge from my film, which you can check out designs for below.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
