approaching "Roundabout"


Above is a quick concept poster that displays a basic colour pallette and graphic style for Roundabout.  The technique that we are pursuing currently involves digital camera projection of traditional watercolour environments onto 3D geometry.

The challenge we face with this film is bridging Joao's traditional technique and my CG approach to animated film together in a seamless and appealing way. The work i have created for the film so far has been entirely digital so the image above does not accurately represent what we want the final film to look like but rather indicates the areas that traditional techniques can replace and develop.

The animation of rigid structures will be tackled in 3D while characters will be approached in a similar way to Chomet as traditional 2D, however this is subject to change if 3D is a more viable option.  This innovative process will undergo many animation tests but will hopefully achieve a unique look.
