Animatic

2011-02-28T13:50:00.000-08:00

We made a very rough animatic, and here is your chance to see it! This animatic was a very early draft for the animation, so it's missing a few scenes. You can see the scenes we added in the last blog post.

Concept Previews

2011-02-28T13:41:00.000-08:00

It seems silly posting the concepts after showing some of the finished product, but better late than never! We started concepting our characters late last year, around August. Liz Paradis has created some amazing concepts for our main characters, as well as concepts for our sets. Here are a few previews of what is soon to come!

We also have our story board and color key images for you to take a gander. This story board is our latest version for the animation.

Prop Preview

It's been a while, but we have some models to show! Our modeling crew has been working hard to get us some fantastic results. I have to say, as director, I'm really proud of all the hard work they're doing for us. Here's some of their work:

We're keeping a good pace, and making great progress.
