Character designs for new film project titled 'Mr Fox'

Shaun Tan

I have just finished the book 'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan and it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and inspirational books I have read. It is easy to see how an Oscar was achieved based on his work, its illustrations and imagination is astounding.

New Character Designs

This is a new character design for a personal project I am currently working on, however, it may contribute towards my final degree film if possible.

Directing Animation- 'The Blean' Animatic

Here is the animatic for the directing animation project 'The Blean', of which I am currently working on. The jolting cut in and out shots will be dolly shots in the actual film itself but due to technical issue I was unable to portray this in the animatic.

Plot:

Deep in a dense forest there is a tree unlike any other. The shoes that hang from the tree represent the different stages within a persons life. Each stage of life is plucked from the tree by a lone bird, who will then replace the plucked shoes with the next stage of life (e.g babies first shoes, replaced by babies first walking shoes)

However Due to limitations, the full plot may not be fully represented within the film.

I have re worked my storyboard, and I'm much happier with it now, the frames were far too distanced before. However, I'm still not sure if its quite there yet. Below are some more shots from the set production.

I have been story boarding all day today, and I'm still not finished, more than half of it is still scribble.

Some frames that are not scribble:

Directing Animation-Production Design

These images are for my 'Directing Animation' project, which forms part of my degree. Here are some stills taken during the construction of the set, I will hopefully be posting an image of the finished set very soon :)

New Project

I am currently looking for new project ideas, which I will pursue in my on time. I love films that show a strong visual style as well as fantastic stories. One of my favorite examples of strong visual style in the film 'Nine' directed by Rob Marshall.

Directing Animation-Visulisation

This is an early visualization for the 'Directing Animation' project I am currently working on for my degree.

Group Project- Set Design

We are currently working on a project titled 'Krapp's Last Tape' based on a play buy Samuel Beckett. My job for the project was production design (below). We are currently in the early stages of filming and hope to finish next week. The film is a stop-motion piece, featuring elements of 'Flash'.

Visualization For Personal Project

Here is another visualization for the film I am currently working on. I find these useful when trying to discover a visual look to the film.
