More Environment Concepts.........

Some more environment concepts, focussing on the wasteland. The third concept I had on my previous post, the pen drawn one, our director Chris particularly liked and asked me to push that through with the style. I wasn't particularly too experienced or comfortable using pen to draw prior, but heres what Iv managed to come up with.................

Environment Concepts

Me and Natasha have been assigned the job for environment concepts for Junk Food.
Sooooo heres what I hav so far....... Some I'll post again later in colour..........

Strorybaords!!!!..........

Chris has finally finished off the script and and asked us if we wanted anything changed, obviously no one did because it was perfect :p. So now we have started to storyboard, and seeing as I havn't been as productive with the concepting as everyone else I decided to take up quite a hefty chunk of the script to do.

Below are the thumbnails of the 'DAY 2' section of the script.... I still need to do about one more page worth of thumbnails, but this is what I have so far.................

The last section of thumbnails :D...........

Moving Along............

Chris is very close to finalising the script for Junk Food now so we should be able to start dishing out some storyboards very soon. But in the mean time we are trying to get some concepts and research done at least. Loui seems to have the character design for the girl in the story covered and chris has alot of sketched ideas for th Junk Robot design, so me and Tash are doing some environmental concepts, although Chris again already has quite a few ideas concepted out :P.

Been adding researched refference onto our group blog, thought Id add a few things on my blog too for the sake of having some stuff on here.


The Iron giant Concept

Backgrounds.............

Ok so these are the backgrounds I have made for Anja. She asked me to create the backgrounds of five specific storyboard panels, each one having to be composed of different cut out images and to look like everything was lightly drawn/painted on scrunched up rice paper. To do this I had to use lots of different layers in Photoshop, with a seperate layers for for both the rice paper and scrunched texture aswell.........

Mood for the Cranes.............

Anja has asked everyone working for her to do someresearch for her film '1000 Cranes for Peace' so that we can make both mood boards and backgrounds for the pre production part of the film. I was appointed with finding refference on the four seasons and types of paper (Japanese), and also to produce some backgrounds for the 'Run' part of the animation.

Below are the two mood boards I put together for her.........

JUNK FOOD

At the moment we don't have a script to work from for 'Junk Food', we all knew there wasn't a finalised story for the project when signing up to work on it, but the background story to the Junk Food universe I think is VERY solid and quite a number of smaller stories can easily be generated.

Sooo right now we are going throught the process of actually coming up with a story and devising a script to sart working from, but its not easy. The guy who came in from Aardman recomended that the story should be based around an Iron Giant type theme or plotline, so we have some ideas flowing.

Chris is working really hard on this script with everyone pitching in lots of ideas, lets hope we can help Chris get it done in time.

Pitch..........

It Starts Here...........

Ok sooooo once again Iv created a blog abit late into production :P, but the FINAL YEAR has BEGAN!!!! and its time for work work work!!!!!!!!

My animation film pitch didn't get chosen (not surprised) so Iv found myself 3 other films to work on. The film Iv chosen to work on as my main group for the year is Chris Harrison's, with his film 'Junk Food'. The other two films Ill be working on part-time are Anja's film '1000 Cranes for Peace', and Kanika's film 'Glitch' which she has chosen to not direct and given to Prince and Alex to manage.

And with that forword.......... lets DO THIS SHIIIT!!!!!!
