The End... of pre-production.

We are coming up on the end of this module and we are working hard to get our pre-production bible ready for the hand in. We finished the animatic today and added sound, after a few days of little to no sleep for many of the groups members, so enjoy..

Storyboards: Tore A. Thoresen.

Animatic: Hakon Sorensen.

Sound: Ify Nwokoro.

Animatic, work in progress:

Here is the animatic so far. We are working on perfecting the timing and getting the sound right so it is very much a work in progress.

End game.

We are almost at the end of week five and things are starting to come together. Our concepts are mostly done and we have come far with the animatic. The last week has been left open so far, but it seems that we have to use it to create 3D models and assets.

Character concepts for 3D:

I set a deadline for character concept for 3D this Friday 18.11.11 so that we could start doing basic 3D modeling of the characters. These are the T-pose drawings made by Hayley Davis.

Second week over.

The second project week is now over. This week we have been mostly working on concept and refining the story. We have finished a first draft of the script allthough it was stretched a bit over the deadline. We have also come a long way with our characters and environments.
This week is manly dedicated to setting up a basic storyboard, but concept will also have it busy since the deadline for the basic concept drawings for 3D is set this friday (18.11.11).

Project Neil

Hello I am Hakon Sorensen and I am the team blogger for our short film project here at Teeside University.

Our story is still being worked on but in short it is about a Norwegian gnome and his grandson. The old gnome gets a visit from his grandchild one day, but he does not want him there.

We have just finished our first week of group work and most of the time this week has gone into planning.
Next week the outline should be finished so that the storyboarding can begin. We will also start with character and environment concepts as well as colourscripting and moodboards.
