I've been working on several freelance gigs lately and heres one thats pretty cool. I asked the director of the project (Christian Ortega) if I could show a few things from the animated part which is in my hands. Heres the trailer which only shows some live-action clips.
Ok so enough of those agonizing storyboards.. here are some BG's that I played around with last semester. The last one is actually from my film.. and Robots on the cliff is a "Kuembuck" throwback.
These boards are like a hybrid mix of pencil and Cintiq. I guess thats what happens when you don't plan things out well and you change your story a million times. Anyway I wanted to add some gray tones in the boards so I didn't have to think about lighting and stuff later on. I ended up finishing some of the boards completely by Cintiq when I made changes.I'm not gonna post the whole story but heres about half...
Heres a few BG Teasers. Once again BG asistance by Mr. Jason Boech. Check out his Blog damnit. http://jboesch.blogspot.com/. I'll post more BG stuff later.
So most of you probably seen my new film in the OPEN SHOW. What you didn't know is that I changed the story like 10 times during the semester and slapped shit together at the last minute. In the Original film idea I boarded a flash-back sequence of Terrance & good Thaddeus back in Vietnam. At the end of that sequence Terrance steps on a bomb and we jump cut to him actually waking up at the wheel of the bus about to hit that monstrous BIG RIG. Here it is.. the original drawings are pretty ruff but later on I added some grey tones in Photoshop.
I am finanally done at Cal Arts and I can't wait to get that tuition bill in the mail! Somebody hire the kid please! Four years in Valencia and now I'm moving back to LA. I am a fresh Cal Arts Grad "Class of 09" ready to leap into abyss of the industry. I am origanally from Chicago but raised in Pasadena, Ca. So check my stuff out. This isn't really a portfolio blog but most of it is in my portfolio depending on whose looking at it.
