Tentative Storyboards

We've been working off sketches and pre-visual work that Sean had been doing previous to this class. Here are some of those images. As you can see the character will be bandaged and aged almost like a tree in the head and face area. As of right now, the writing on the wall may be scrapped, we have been discussing creating a 3D room with a grungy wallpaper texture. The people in the window will be filmed on a green screen and then multiplied and composited in post production. We will also have a matte painting to create the outside environment.



Pre-vis



So far we've been discussing aesthetics of the appendage that we will be adding to our main character. The appendage will be much like that of an angler fish. We've been looking at designs that are achieved in Z-brush by Meats Meier. Above are a few images that have inspired our design as of now. I am also working on sculpting a plastaline version of the appendage that I'll upload soon.

New Quarter, New Projects

Well, its the beginning of the new quarter, which means working on a new project. I'm going to be working with a fellow visual effects student Sean Loughran. Together we'll be creating a Visual Effects heavy short piece about the cycles of life, in a very surrealistic way. I'll be updating this site as much as possible, so be sure to check in for updates.
