DIRECTOR - Oscar
PRODUCER - Jo
HEAD OF 3D - Hamish
Me and Tea will be handling the mattepainting and 2D animation aspects for this project, as we have chosen to go with Oscar's project suggestion of someone reaching enlightenment in their meditation and their soul ascending to the spirit world. Our live action character is the person meditating, our 3D object is the human soul and potentially the environment for the other world, and our animated characters are the spirits which dwell in the ether.
We've given each other today to work on improving and tweaking the script, but I really don't feel like I have much to add to it at this point. Therefore I have been thinking about the kinds of creatures that we could incorporate on the spiritual world and what the interims might look like. As I've been recording dreams and half asleep visions I've had for a few years now, I find some of the characters I've dreamed subconsciously quite fascinating and would love to incorporate similar designs into the creatures of our own project. Here are a few I've drawn from 2012-2013
My own interpretation of the spirit world lines up with oscar's idea of how it should look as well, except in his mind its much brighter, more vibrant and with a lot less black.
I've also recently discovered Ebru painting, and feel like the process of creating droplets on water before swirling them into shapes and patterns would create a fluid and simple forms for a monster concept to be based around.
Overall, I guess I'd like my focus to be on character/creature design and bringing those to life more than anything else. Of course I need to run my ideas by Oscar to see if they fit in with his vision, but I think overall these creatures need to be simple in shape, design and movement if we're going to have a handful of them in our final project. I'm not entirely sure if my strengths lie in this area, but it is probably where the majority of my interest is for certain.
