2nd version

second version of my film from stu buckle on Vimeo.

i got rid of some of the unnecessary fluff and added to bits that needed it. now i've gotta work on refining it all and getting it all looking good for after xmas! woo woo

Monster House aesthetic

I really like the aesthetic of Monster House.. like the way they used normal colours and how everything looks quite muted and more real. Also the suburban aspect of it is something that I need to draw influence from as there are going to be bits in mine that happen outside of the house on a street not too dissimilar from the one in the film.

The aesthetic of the kids is also something I need to look at. I want to make them all quite thin like DJ in the film but when I draw them they end up with either a massive head or looking like tall thin adults

animatic version one

jats animatic 1 from stu buckle on Vimeo.

I screened this version of my animatic in uni last week (3rd december) and it went alright. Got a bit of a laugh which I was not expecting.. There are some bits in it that I don't like - they feel a bit unnecessary so I'm going to get rid of them and replace them by lengthening other bits that I feel need to be longer.
