Personal Typography

This new year I decided to start a drawing a day type journal!

However instead of a drawing a day I started with a typography design a day based on quotes or information or anything I find inspirational or interesting basically!

Here are some examples of the days so far...

Long Way Down Update - Animatic

The comedy short Long Way Down is moving fast!

Due to Bottle being cut I've moved to working on Long Way Down more hours a week, including clean up & colouring! Our team now consists of 8 predominant team members & the key frames are well under way currently & being passed on to myself to be cleaned up.

We should be completing at least 12 key frames a week to have finished just the keyframes by Easter - though the process of inbetweening needs to be sped up currently!

Here is an updated animatic with some shots thrown in....

The Reel - Mirror Designs & Interior Hell Scene

 In addition to the exterior of the Hell scene I've also created rough concept pieces for the interior areas of the Hell scene in which the Devil character stands in front of the mirror talking to himself & then walks out onto the balcony to shout into the depths of hell.

Above are some examples of possible layouts & wall details incorporating some gothic style elements such as pillars & skulls, with other contemporary details.

The original mirror concept incorporated melting candles as a way to light up the mirror & character, bringing in details of skulls & bones to add a hell-ish element. I received feedback from one member of the team that he had envisioned it like a giant make up mirror with light bulbs around the edges of the mirror wish I tried to incorporate below.

The Reel - Hell Scene Concept!

I'm also working on the Hell scene for the Reel, so I created this outline concept for the exterior background of the Hell scene, trying to incorporate details that they required for their design including the balcony - which I realise is at a bit of a wrong angle currently...

I received feedback that more lava would be desired! To create a dripping effect from the stalactites & also over the sides of rock islands.

The Reel - Hell Scene References/Inspiration

I'm working on the Reel for a second time working on & creating concepts from a different scene - the Hell scene featuring the devil interacting with an interior & exterior layout.

The initial part of the scene takes place within an interior with the character standing in front of a gothic style mirror & he then moves into the exterior, hell.

I collected some images to use an initial reference & as inspiration for both the gothic style mirror & the cave like hell exterior.
