Wide Shoulders

Showing a lot of skin.

Skinny waist.

Pocahontas run cycle used for representation of

zombie run

Bite

marks

show

violence

and

possible

infection

The use of tone and shading to create

depth, shadow and makes the monster

seem more mysterious

Black shadows around

the eyes to show that the

eyes are dead/ dying

The monster (zombie) characters body will be extremely skinny around the

stomach and waist so much that it only

shows the spine and the hip bones, no

skin.

Scratches and scars create a

sense of danger within the

character. It gives the

character a backstory

without telling the audience.

Reference

Warm Bodies

Skin decay is useful to give that added

detail. It adds to the representation of

the living dead (zombie). Giving the

audience that instant feel of danger

and horror.

Detail around the mouth

showing behind the skin and

the skin rotting away

Very pale colours to show the light

(life) slipping out of the character,

representing the monster dying.

Green/yellow and brown colours to

representation sickness. Gives the

audience the sense of an uneasy

nature either within the colour, his

thoughts or his surroundings.

Browns, creams, blacks, greys and whites

will be used for the monsters rawer areas

and skin to show dirt, rot, decay and

general abnormality for the characters

well-being.

Basic cargo green pants for the

monsters bottom half

Big clunky brown

boots

Green shades and tones to be used for the costume.

Reference The Princess and the Frog (Shadow Demons)

The immediate feel of these shadow drawings are

that they are scary. The use of strong, bold lines but

also the use of the fluidity and loses ness of the

silhouettes themselves offers a scary and captive

nature

The way in which the shadow gets

smaller and thinner towards the base

shows how far away the person or

thing is who is creating the shadows

The simplicity of the

shadow gives the

audience the chance to

create their own

interpretation of the

shadows, adding to the

mystery

The fact that the shadows arent completely pitch black and you can see through them slightly adds to

the characteristic of it being a shadow.

The shadows stick to the ground

which help show the audience where

in perspective they are.

Industrial ColoursUsed to show temperature within the

atmosphere and surroundings.

Whites, blacks, greys, creams, stone and

pale blues, these are the colours situated

within the industrial colour schemes. They are mainly used in environments i.e.

landscapes and buildings. Mainly within

horror genres to create danger and

darkness.

Steampunk coloursSteampunk is a collaboration of brass

chunky metals so orangey/brown colours

are useful to create the feel of metal. A pale

green esc colour will be used for the gears.

Medieval/Victorian coloursAbstract colours like the ones above and

right i.e. reds, purples, blues, golds and

browns are used to create quite royal but

raw materials. Blue is used for royalty

and the rest help create that rugged and

tough design that is displayed within

medieval work.

- Steampunk/Medieval

Post- Apocalyptic

Medieval Basic materials and textures

used. No bright

colours, but a lot of

tones and shading.

Scratchy, rough

textures

Steampunk information to

understand the mechanics and feel

of the style and design so that it

can be captured professionally

within our building designs and

assets.

The style of using

chunky metals within

steampunk structures for

buildings offers a feel of

the future. The idea of

steampunk is to show all

of the cogs or different

metals coming together

in a neat and tidy way.

The actual designs and

layouts of the materials

are very appealing for an

audience to view.

The pocket watch is a

major asset within this

project. It controls and

obtains the motivation of

the main monster

character. It drives his

feelings of love for the girl

that he is trying to find

throughout the short

animation. This design is

very fitting for the

steampunk feel that has

been chosen. It shows all

of the working cogs within

the watch.

The design of the gates

show all of the cogs and

metals fused together

Medieval torches and

candle holders. Used

as the only source of

light

Steampunk lights use basic

chunky metals.

A combination of both steampunk and medieval will be used as that is our desired

look and feel. This will add a rawer more rugged appeal.

The simplicity of these lights is

what gives them their steampunk

esc style and design.

This is the initial

storyboard that I

created alongside

Scott. This storyboard

was taken and

developed from the

original presentation

that I gave.

This is a piece of

concept art that I

created as collage for

the gate scenes of the

film. I created this

using lots of different

texture images I found

on the internet.

I created this concept

art on Photoshop using

lots of different layers

and masks.

This is the second piece

of concept art I

created. This was

designed to show the

look and feel of the

film. Creating the hand

greyscale was to show

the sort of colour

palette we were looking

to use. By colouring the

bite and the pocket

watch this was to show

the importance of

these two objects.

I created this concept

art on Photoshop using

the image in the

bottom right for

reference.

These are some of the backgrounds that I finalised and made greyscale in

Photoshop once Stef had created them. The smaller images show the

original background design and the three bigger images show the final

backgrounds that I created.

The idea to use greyscale was a group decision when were looking at our initial

research and discussing what overall look we wanted for the film. We took reference

from the film Sin City and went for a look and feel similar to that of the film, using greyscale and monochrome throughout. Img.1 shows the background of the floor

for one shot in the film. Img.2 shows the background of a floor and wall. Img.3

shows a grainy wall texture

Img.3

These are the first four

backgrounds I created from

scratch. I created all of my

backgrounds on Photoshop, using

Chagos animatic and the shots he used for reference. Img.4 is a

background displaying Spinnaker

Tower from below. Everything

again is done in greyscale as this

was our chosen colour palette.

Img.5 shows a very basic

background of a wall. Img.6 and

Img.7 are the same background of

the laboratory door and windows

just one is more zoomed in than

the other.

Img.4 Img.6

Img.7

These are the final four backgrounds that I

created for the project. Again continuing with

the colour palette of greyscale I created

backgrounds that displayed the inside of the

laboratory.

Img.8 shows the initial shot inside the

laboratory, displaying some scientific props and

a window at the back.

Img.9 shows right outside the laboratory doors,

the stairs that lead up to the doors and a sign

pointing towards the main attractive (the

laboratory)

Img.10 shows the laboratory doors and

windows from inside.

Finally Img.11 shows similar aspects to Img.8 displaying scientific equipment.

The next few pages show all off

the six assets I modelled for the

project.

This page and the images on it

display the padlock and chains

I created for the scene with the

gates. The padlock, padlock

hook and chains are all

separate models that have been

parented together so that they

can be controlled as one. The

pocket watch is the only model

to have an actual texture on it,

the rest of the models are just

textured with dark plain colours

so that they fit within the colour

scheme that is consistent

throughout.

This page displays the pocket watch model. This is the only model that has

been given a texture other than a plain colour lambert. The texture used for this

model was a picture (shown right). It is a picture of a woman in black and

white, this was so that it can fit again within the colour scheme. This model is a

very important aspect of the film as it drives our protagonist to continue on his

mission. This model was simply created and then smoothed to look and fit

more comfortably in the characters hand.

This page displays one of the aspects that belong within the

laboratory. The model have created is just a block, made to look

like a computer with a table next to it. This model looks

interesting due to the extra models I created for it. On the table

on the right hand side I have modelled a scroll, pencils, pens, a

paper weight and six test tubes in a holder. This model doesn't

interact with the character it is just there to give the audience

the feel that the character has looked into an actual scientific

laboratory.

This is the model gate I created. This is a very important aspect

of the film as it is involved within several of the main scenes.

The gate has two doors at the very front that swing open and

closed. This gate consists of two walls, two pillars, an archway

and two doors. The padlock also belongs to this model.

This page similar to page 24 displays another set of scientific equipment that has

only been modelled to help the laboratory look more like a laboratory. This model

consists of two main models: the oval heater on the left and the switch board on the

right. The heater has been made entirely as one model, giving some of the faces a

black texture to make them stand out. The switch board on the right has been made

up of three different models all parented together. It consists of a switch, volt robs

and the machine itself. These two models are connected by a simple pipe that runs

out the side of the heater and connects to the top of the switch board.

This final page of asset models displays another set of

scientific equipment. This is just a table that is located on the

right hand side of the laboratory. The table has been created all

as one model and smoothed out. On top of the table there is

another set of six test tubes in holder, three beakers on the left

side and one jar on the right. I didn't want to over complicate

the scientific equipment in the laboratory as I didn't want

attention to be taken away from the main attraction (the button

and the character).

This is my final section of animation that I have done for the production of the film. My section

consisted of 8.1 seconds from 9-18. I organised and split up the 35 second film into sections that were

manageable for everyone in my group.
