I had great plans to get a ridiculously large amount of work done over the Easter Break. However, they were viciously thwarted by a six-ear-old by the name of Seth, my nephew, who I ended up babysitting for a week. I did get some work done (read; about two hours after Seth was asleep) but not nearly enough. Consequently I've spent any free time over the past couple of days working on the storyboard, and I still haven't reached the stage that I can turn it into an animatic.
Too much sugar on Monday inspired quite possibly the most twisted, random, fractured fairytale that has ever been conceptualized. Little Red Riding Hood, except futuristic, a ninja, and with mutant wolves from out of space. When we were broken up in to groups though we decided to throw that idea away for now, because quite honestly, it had broken so far away from the original story that it didn't really fit the criteria for the assignment any more. It might be a good idea for a final year film though. I might post a couple of the concepts next post, because I'm quite proud of Red and the wolves.
Our group (ninjas!) chose a story today; The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs. It's very long, and there are a lot of characters and locations to design, but it gives us a lot of options and potential for coming up with some really great designs. We've decided on a Polynesian/Islander theme, with a mixture of bright, beach atmosphere, and darker, voodoo-inspired stuff.
Well, going back to working on my storyboards now.
