This is the (not very good) storybook I made. I am still working on the staging.

Scene Evolution

Stills from the Environment

From thumbnails to rendered stills.

Grimly Character Walk Cycle

This was a character test I completed. I was given the feedback to tweak the character, concentrating on achieving a better silhouette.

Grimly Character Designs

These are some of the initial character sketches for Grimly. 

Grimly Poster

A poster I made as part of the film pitch.

Story Book

My supervisor set me the task of creating a Storybook version of Grimly first. This has been immensely helpful in clearly visualising weather or not the story worked and how it could be told visually. This excercise led me to ammending the sotry I had originally pitched, into a cleaner, simpler and more effective story, which I (and others) felt had a lot more depth than the original story. I have been looking at the storybook versions of Tangled and The Nightmare Before Christmas for inpiration.

 

 

Rustboy

Inspiration - Rustboy is a really viasually breathtaking film that a dark, isolated mood and has excellent staging and lighting.
