Poster Ideas

Just a concept I'm playing with for the film's poster. I'm not sure if this is too conceptual or not just yet. I'm going to have to let it sit a bit and come back to it. I think if i do come back to this idea I'm going to redo the light effects in Illustrator to get really crisp lines. The over all composition was inspired by the Jaws posters.

                                                        

More Effects Concepts, Always More

I finished the animation on this scene today.  Do you get to see it? Well, not on the blog. Sorry folks. I guess this means you'll just have to go to a film festival near you to see it!  Muahahahaha!!! My plot to get you off the internet and into the theater continues. I start character animation tomorrow. Bet you can't WAIT.

More Effects Concepts

I decided to scan in some of my animation that I've cleaned up already to play around with colors, and methods of painting the effects for this shot. I'm pretty pleased with this scene so far, I think the line tests are showing something promising, with a little more work it will get there. I really like the red one, specifically since in the film the actual colors will be so different, and as always I love deep turquoises with yellows. There are five main beams of light, some with as many as 3 layers of animation. Not all are painted in the concept paintings.

Oh here's a line test of my animation, it's not final yet.  I'm planning on more inbetweens, to smooth out some of the jerkier streams of light, and maybe  complete revision of the one in bottom right hand corner. Any other suggestions to improve on it?

Hand Animation Effects

I'm getting ready to do the light effects  on the hand that I animated (see post here) so I wanted to do a couple of concept paintings of different styles of effects. I've done some effects animation tests already, so I kind of have an idea of what i think works best, but I had a little time this afternoon so I painted these up. I might add some more after the initial post, so if you're interested check back for more!
