Here is the updated alpha. I have been working on the animation whilst the other guys have been working hard on the texturing and making it all look pretty. We are really happy with our progress. Still very much WIP, but you can see what we have been upto.

TheoRig

2010-02-05T09:27:00.000-08:00

So, we got the rig back from harry and it is great. The first thing I did was to play around with some poses, to make sure he was flexible enough for what we needed.

2009-11-25T14:53:00.000-08:00

This is a pretty big upload of a lot of character design from very early stages to quite recent.

Enviorment Concepts

2009-11-11T12:30:00.000-08:00

Here is some of the buildings I have been working on.

This is an early style I was looking at.
I liked this one but started looking at shanti towns in Brazil.

This is the last latest edition and I think this is style will go for:

New concept

2009-11-05T02:13:00.000-08:00

After a slight change in the story, the main character comes into the middle of circular town. Here lays a fountain that is dry. He puts down his bag and as he does you see the darkness creeping into him from all directions. This is the concept piece I created for this shot.

Colour Storboard Concepts

2009-11-04T03:08:00.000-08:00

I was really inspired by the Incredibles for this piece. I have focused mainly on the colour theory rather than character and environment, while still keeping it consistent with the story.

In this image I used warm colours with a complimentary green for the sky, I think it really works well as a strong pallet.

Here is the cool version, I don't feel the same power that comes across in the warmer version but it is nice to see a contrast.

Visual Concepts

2009-11-03T08:51:00.001-08:00

Here was the first visual concept I created, it's of the main character looking over the dull city.

Another concept of my vision for the street scene. This was an early idea of the man as he was glowing standing in the street.

Storyboards

Film Treatment

2009-10-01T03:57:00.000-07:00

This is our blog for our short film. Trouvialle made by Jack Waller, Les Davis and Tim Padwick.

Treatment:
A wandering beggar comes to a town just before sunrise. The town is grey and dull, totally devoid of creativity, imagination, joy and colour, choked with the blackness.
