Bottle - Layouts

Examples of background layouts for Bottle - each element is on a separate layer so it is able to be moved around in the scene. Especially if it is an element to be interacted with.

Some of the shots are not regular 1080/920 format due to the changing screen size in bottle & also to be able to move the frame around the layout if required.

The Director will later make animation notes on this, sketching key positions & details within the frame to aid animators in understanding what is required.

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.
