THE HUNT (WIP)
This is a personal, solo project involving a hunter who is bad at hunting. He has dreams of being great but the only thing holding him back is himself. This passion project is currently in production outside of work hours with no particular deadline in mind.
ANIMATIC
This short story was developed through a small note in my phone that read “A hunter that can’t hunt” - simple but I felt this needed to be made. From there, the story unfolded in my mind, so I hopped into Photoshop and started roughing out the scenes. I then took these scenes into Premiere Pro and generated an animatic. A restrictions for this short I wanted to have little to no dialogue and a reduced number of characters to speed up production.
For this project, following the animatic, I wanted to start building the world around the main character. This helps me visualize the final animation and how the character might interact with the background. These backgrounds were all created by using images from Unsplash, piecing them together in Photoshop and adding shading and layering to build the scene.
BACKGROUND DESIGNS
ROUGH SCENES
All rough animation will be completed in Toonboom Advanced. Color and final designs will be determined at a later date. The designs of the characters are original and on-the-spot to make them fit in their own world. Main character based on a design from another passion project.
That’s it for now! More to come as time goes on…
