Tree Test for DISTANCE

Over this weekend i have been research inuit art to get a feel for the style for me to do some tree modelling tests and designs in Photoshop. This is to help Sammy the director of Distance by me experimenting with different materials, as well as do digital designs to see what designs will suit the inuit art style but also what will be easy to make into a 3D model. 

For the tree modelling tests i used plastersine as well as white foam because the director and me thought it had a nice ice texture to it. 

For the digital designs i was told to reference inuit art and keep to the colour palette of the variety of blues.

Overall i am pleased that i did these tests because it helps the process and then you will know what shape and material work best.

Making a shot list for Distance

This shot list is so Sammy the director of the stop motion film has an idea of what camera angles she needs in her shots of the film to make the film have interesting shots.

Making schedules...........

This week i have also been making four week schedules for each member of the team so they have something to focus on and that way they will feel motivated.

Here is an example of the schedule:

Also this week i did start doing a layout but in the end i thought it was best for the 2nd yr who did the previous layouts to do it to keep consistency. 

Also this week i will be colouring in all of the character designs and doing a shot list for Sammys stop motion Distance because Sammy will have her updated animatic. 

Bible update

For the bible hand in next week i made a plan last nigh which now i have separated everyone's work into the relevant folders so we can have an order for the bible. 

Also have started another background today for Africa: 

Pre production package

From our meeting with Rosa today for next week besides getting our bible done we discussed that we thought it was best to make a production package for the rest of our team. Start by doing a break down of what each person needs to be doing in these next 2-3 weeks

For example:
Imogens main focus break down for animator

Bev's main focus layout breakdown and colour palettes for a layout artist 

Hannah drew a savannah

It a new year and for the January hand in i have been focusing putting the pre- production bible together showing all our designs for our film. I am not practicing drawing the mother for when i help animate, which we are going to start in this month. The bible consists of main final designs, research and development for the film, the animatic, animation test shots, some of our layouts which we are continuing to do as we speak. The rest of the layouts that need doing we are going to do alongside starting animating. The bible also shows producer role work including examples of schedules and shot lists.
