My Website!

I have just got my website up and running, it is not 100% complete yet but it will be soon.

Check it out: www.dan-nicholson.co.uk

You can see my other projects and more info on this one...

Animation

Now the animation has been competed it can be previewed. Again this does not represent the look of the final film in any way, as it is not rendered yet. This is simply to preview the animation of the characters. Test renders will be posted soon so the aesthetic of the film can be understood. The sound is still non-representative of the final audio however it gives a good idea. The Voiceover will be recorded soon and I feel this will add alot the the feel. Some of the textures are still incomplete in this version.

Test Animations

Here are quick tests of the Rigs. Some aesthetics have been added in post to give the feel of aged footage.

Texturing

The textures and shaders are currently being developed for all the elements in the film. Here are the diffuse textures used for the main character's head and body. These were created using photo reference and extensive manipulation. Each texture is 2k resolution.

Pre-Vis

Here is the 3D Previsualisation of the final animation. This is used to block out the timing of the scenes and animation, and to show the basic models and appearance. The textures are not complete and no lighting has been applied. The soundtrack and narration is all rough at this stage.

Lica Reel

Here is a rough block out of the story using the storyboard frames.

Concept Art

As you may be able to tell by the date I am quite late in starting this blog so I will post some of my working and progress up to the current day.

Here are some initial rough Concept Art for some of the characters and props.
