Desire Me, Desire Me Not.

I was originally going to pitch the short animated film Desire Me, Desire Me Not an adaptation of a Brighton student's (Emma Harrison) short live action film. But after deciding I'd rather not focus on creating a short film & instead concentrate on producing & the possible production bible, I decided not to pitch the short film.

But it was the story of the girl who is rescued by her prince when she falls off her bike, as a thank you she gives him her flower & smudges her whiskers.

Their life ensues. Moving in, marriage & she three whiskers become two, her ears slip & tail loses it's life.

She's putting her bun in the oven when her tail gets caught in the door.

Ripping it off.

Devastated she goes to find a sewing kit to reattach her tail. & finds something.

Porn.

Upset, rejected - she doesn't look like them anymore.

Devastated she attacks herself attempting to sew on her tail, blood seeping, tears flowing.

A heap on the floor, he comes in.

Disgusted & repulsed at her - tail off, ears damaged & whiskers barely there, he leaves her.

So she wipes away her cat. Revealing herself.

Bare.

3rd Year Pitches!

For the third year pitches I should be pitching three times... Two of which will be my own projects, the third a project which I'll be producing if it goes ahead - Jordan Allnut's short film Bottle.

Ancient Family.

A project I worked on in my pre production module in my second year which I'll be pitched as production bible as opposed to a film.

A production for an animated sitcom which breaks the fourth wall revolving one families life in the Underworld.

Desire Me, Desire Me Not.

A relatively new project, a short film about a girl's declining sexuality in the eyes of a man. Very much inspired by the amazing work of Regina Pessoa, using a very limited colour palette & metaphorical imagery.

Bottle.

A short film using a minimal colour palette about one man's journey into the outside with the help of character's come to life in his boats in bottles.

Ancient Family Redesign!

Additional Ancient Family main character design experiments!

The above inspired by Jennayenik & below Zan Von Zed.

Both on Instagram!

If my project is chosen as a third year project then I will be looking for character designers to do a style redesign!

A Special Digital Painting...

A digital painting of my favourite Rottweiler puppy for a Father's Day Card.

This was a massive challenge for me being one of my first digital paintings in so much detail & in a photorealistic style. Fur is also definitely a massive challenge...

Getting Back to It!

I have gone MIA since summer started due to work & all manner of other things...

BUT I've been working on my Ancient Family concept, deciding that I would like to develop it as a full bible as opposed to a short film.

Some of the feedback I received, mainly from the tutors, were that the character styling were too harsh & pointy. So I've started to experiment with different character styling concentrating on the four main characters initially.

A more cartoon like simplified approach to the family, which I also think allows for more personality to be conveyed in a way due to the simplicity of the features.
