Well, I thought I'd update this with a little info on what's been happening to me and what will happen to this film.
After attending a Portfolio Drop Event that Disney set up in London, I had the chance to chat with a Visual Development artist from Disney, Jeff Turley, who was really kind and encouraging. After this talk which set me on a path to building a portfolio/showreel focused on backgrounds and colour, I have decided that I will colourscript The Troll's Dagger. I think this will be a valuable key to getting the film to work much better as I really want it to transmit the emotions clearly.
I have thought of a few details, as well, that require me to re-do the storyboards and animatic, so the film will be longer than it was intended which was almost 4 minutes long. It will have a longer sequence of flashbacks which style I will also need to develop into something more finished than what is seen in the trailers. I will research viking art and the sort and try to adapt it to a style I like and have those sequences fully animated... or animated in cut out.
I might try to get something uploaded in the next month maybe.. I'm waiting to be contacted to see if I got a job or not which should happen next week, but considering I will want my film's colourscripts in my portfolio I will need to storyboard it at some point.
That's all for now.
Updating more on the Troll's Dagger Film?
ReplyDeleteAah, I feel so terrible..
DeleteYeah, I have been sort of updating it, but in my head mostly, and sometimes go about trying to redesign the characters though that's proven to be quite a difficult task. I definitely haven't given up on the project, but I think I need to organize myself first, starting with writing a screenplay so I can thumbnail it better. It's been quite difficult also cause I've been lucky enough with not being unemployed for too long!
Thanks for taking interest! c:
Welcome! I'll Be glad to help you if you like! I'm good at writing Scripts.
ReplyDeleteThe screenplay is going to be a sort of brainstorm thing for now because there's a few gaps in the story I need to fill. I only need it so I'll use it as a reference for the storyboards; I'm still into keeping the film without dialogs.
DeleteBut thank you, I appreciate your kindness!
